Abstract Objective This study was conducted to isolate and characterize lytic bacteriophages for pathogenic Escherichia coli from chicken and beef offal, and analyze their capability as biocontrol for several foodborne pathogens. Methods done in this research are bacteriophage isolation, purification, titer determination, application, determination of host range and minimum multiplicity of infection (miMOI), and bacteriophage morphology. Results Six bacteriophages successfully isolated from chicken and beef offal using EPEC and EHEC as host strain. Bacteriophage titers observed between 109 and 1010 PFU mL−1. CS EPEC and BL EHEC bacteriophage showed high efficiency in reduction of EPEC or EHEC contamination in meat about 99.20% and 99.04%. The lowest miMOI was 0.01 showed by CS EPEC bacteriophage. CI EPEC and BL EPEC bacteriophage suspected as Myoviridae family based on its micrograph from Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Refers to their activity, bacteriophages isolated in this study have a great potential to be used as biocontrol against several foodborne pathogens.

We report the isolation and characterization of a new bacteriocin, thuricin S, produced by the Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. entomocidus HD198 strain. This antibacterial activity is sensitive to proteinase K, is heat-stable, and is stable at a variety of pH values (3–10.5). The monoisotopic mass of thuricin S purified by high perfomance liquid chromatography, as determined with mass spectrometry ESI-TOF-MS, is 3137.61 Da. Edman sequencing and NanoESI-MS/MS experiments provided the sequence of the 18 N-terminal amino acids. Interestingly, thuricin S has the same N-terminal sequence (DWTXWSXL) as bacthuricin F4 and thuricin 17, produced by B. thuringiensis strains BUPM4 and NEB17, respectively, and could therefore be classified as a new subclass IId bacteriocin.
