ISOLATION AND USE OF BACTERIOPHAGE TO REDUCE E. COLI O157:H7 POPULATIONS ON HIDES OF CATTLE

Objective

To anaerobically isolate several E. coli O157:H7 infecting bacteriophage from feedlot manure and soils. To determine if previously isolated phage and these new phage could be used to reduce E. coli O157:H7 on the hides of cattle prior to their entry to the food chain.
