Characterization and genome analysis of a novel phage BP15 infecting Vibrio parahaemolyticus
This study aimed to isolate and characterize phages for their application in lysing Vibrio parahaemolyticus. A novel phage, vB_VpaS_BP15 (BP15), was found to be highly effective against BCRC12959 at MOIs ranging from 0.01 to 10. Despite a low multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 0.001, BP15 caused growth retention. The findings highlight the potential of phage BP15 as a biocontrol agent against Vibrio parahaemolyticus in Taiwan.
