Developing novel antimicrobials capable of controlling multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens is essential to restrict the use of antibiotics. Bacteriophages (phages) constitute a major resource that can be harnessed as an alternative to traditional antimicrobial therapies. Phage ZCSE2 was isolated among several others from raw sewage but was distinguished by broad-spectrum activity against serovars considered pathogenic to humans and animals. Lytic profiles of ZCSE2 against a panel of were determined together with low temperature activity and pH stability. The morphological features of the phage and host infection processes were characterized using a combination of transmission electron and atomic force microscopies. Whole genome sequencing of ZCSE2 produced a complete DNA sequence of 53,965 bp. No known virulence genes were identified in the sequence data, making ZCSE2 a good candidate for phage-mediated biological control purposes. ZCSE2 was further tested against Enteritidis in liquid culture and was observed to reduce the target bacterium to below the limits of detection from initial concentrations of 10 -10 Colony Forming Units (CFU)/mL. With a broad host-range against pathogenic serovars, phage ZCSE2 constitutes a potential tool against a major cause of human and animal disease.
