In addition, the present invention relates to an antibacterial composition including the bacteriophage ΦCJ23 (KCCM11365P) as an active ingredient. Further, provided is a method of preventing and/or treating infectious diseases by avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) in birds using the bacteriophage ΦCJ23 (KCCM11365P) or the antibacterial composition containing the bacteriophage ΦCJ23 (KCCM11365P) as an active ingredient.
1. A method of treating an infectious disease caused by APEC, comprising administering, to a bird, a composition comprising a bacteriophage ΦCJ23 (KCCM11365P), wherein the bacteriophage has a concentration between 5×10 2 and 5×10 2 PFU/ml in the composition.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the infectious disease is avian colibacillosis.
3. A method of feeding comprising:
feeding, to an animal, a composition comprising a bacteriophage ΦCJ23 (KCCM11365P) and at least one material other than the bacteriophage, wherein the bacteriophage's concentration in the composition is from 5×10 2 and 5×10 12 PFU/ml.
4. A method of preparing an animal feed composition, the method comprising:
providing a bacteriophage composition comprising a bacteriophage having the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1; and
mixing the bacteriophage composition with an animal feed base to provide the animal feed composition such that the animal feed composition has a concentration of the bacteriophage between 5×10 2 and 5×10 12 PFU/ml.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the bacteriophage composition prior to mixing is in powder or liquid, wherein the animal feed composition further comprises one or more additives selected from the group consisting of an amino acid, a vitamin, an enzyme, a probiotic, a flavoring agent, a non-protein nitrogen compound, a silicate, a buffer, a coloring agent, an extractant and an oligosaccharide.
6. A method of feeding, the method comprising: preparing the animal feed composition according to the method of claim 4 ; and feeding, to an animal, the animal feed composition as a feed.
7. A method of preparing a drinking water composition, the method comprising:
providing a bacteriophage composition comprising a bacteriophage having the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1; and
mixing the bacteriophage composition with drinking water to provide the drinking water composition such that the drinking water composition has a concentration of the bacteriophage between 5×10 2 and 5×10 12 PFU/ml.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the bacteriophage composition prior to mixing is in powder or liquid, wherein the drinking water composition further comprises one or more additives selected from the group consisting of an amino acid, a vitamin, an enzyme, a probiotic, a flavoring agent, a non-protein nitrogen compound, a silicate, a buffer, a coloring agent, an extractant and an oligosaccharide.
9. A method of providing drinking water, the method comprising:
preparing the drinking water composition according to the method of claim 7 ; and
providing, to an animal, the drinking water composition as drinking water.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the bacteriophage comprises the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1.
11. The method of claim 2 , wherein the bacteriophage comprises the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1.
12. The method of claim 3 , wherein the bacteriophage comprises the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1.
13. The method of claim 4 , wherein the bacteriophage having the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 comprises ΦCJ23 (KCCM11365P).
14. The method of claim 5 , wherein the bacteriophage having the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 comprises ΦCJ23 (KCCM11365P).
15. The method of claim 6 , wherein the bacteriophage having the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 comprises ΦCJ23 (KCCM11365P).
16. The method of claim 7 , wherein the bacteriophage having the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 comprises ΦCJ23 (KCCM11365P).
17. The method of claim 8 , wherein the bacteriophage having the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 comprises ΦCJ23 (KCCM11365P).
18. The method of claim 9 , wherein the bacteriophage having the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 comprises ΦCJ23 (KCCM11365P).
