Bacteriophage cocktail LEC2-LEC10 for broad-spectrum control of pathogenic and uncharacterized Escherichia coli in fresh produce
These results demonstrate that LEC2 and LEC10, especially when used as a cocktail, are promising antibacterial agents for controlling <i>E. coli</i> contamination in fresh foods. Their complementary host ranges and strong lytic activity support their application in food safety strategies aimed at reducing <i>E. coli</i> contamination.
