ABSTRACT
Bacteriophages specific to Salmonella strains were isolated from sewage effluent and characterized. A five-strain bacteriophage mixture was applied to dairy manure compost inoculated with Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium. Bacteriophage treatment resulted in a greater than 2-log-unit reduction of Salmonella within 4 h at all moisture levels compared to the controls.
