Bacteriophage Esc-A is an efficient therapy for Escherichia coli 3-1 caused diarrhea in chickens

The bacteriophage Esc-A was isolated from sewage by using the intestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli 3-1 as the host. Toxicity in chickens showed its safety as a bio-product. Phage therapy against diarrhea in chickens indicated that Esc-A could decrease the death rate more efficiently compared with antibiotic treatments.
