Lytic bacteriophages GS71, GS156, and GS166 effectively target Salmonella Infantis, supporting their use in food safety.
The phages show short latent times (5-10 min) and burst sizes of 205-231 PFU/cell, indicating efficient replication.
Phylogenetic analyses confirmed these phages belong to the Tlsvirus genus, highlighting their genomic similarities.
No virulence or antibiotic resistance genes were found, indicating these phages are safe for use in poultry production.
