Bacteriophage and antibacterial composition comprising the same
Provided is a novel bacteriophage ΦCJ23 (KCCM11365P). 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 composition comprising a bacteriophage ΦCJ23 (KCCM11365P) and an effective amount of a binder sufficient to reduce deterioration of the bacteriophage, wherein the composition is in a dried state.
2. The composition of claim 1 , further comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the dried state is a dried powder state.
4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is formulated in pills, capsules, granules, or tablets.
5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the binder is at least one selected from the group consisting of lactose, saccharose, sorbitol, mannitol, starch, amylopectin, cellulose, and gelatin.
6. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is an additive for adding to an animal feed or drinking water.
7. A method of making an animal feed, the method comprising:
providing a feed material; and
mixing the composition of claim 1 with the feed material to make the animal feed.
