    Salmonella contamination represents a health and economic problem. This study isolated and characterized a lytic bacteriophage, FS01, active against S. typhimurium. FS01 showed a MOI of 1, anadsorption rate of 1.9x10-9 mL/min, and a growth curve with an eclipse period of 10 minutes, a latency period of 15 minutes, and a burst size of 10 virions per cell. It has an icosahedral capsid (64.4 nm) and a flexible tail (182.2 nm), suggestive of Siphoviridae family affiliation, with a narrow host range. It is thermally stable between 40–60 ºC for 30 minutes, viable within a pH range of 6–9, and sensitive to chloroform and UV light. FS01 inhibited bacterial growth starting at 3 hours. FS01 exhibits properties of a promising biocontrol agent for decontaminating food and surfaces.
