Abstract

Phage-based biocontrol of foodborne Salmonella is limited by the requisite use of Salmonella to propagate the phages. This limitation can be circumvented by producing Salmonella phages using a cell-free gene expression system (CFE) with a non-pathogenic chassis. Here, we produce the Salmonella phage felixO1 using an E. coli-based CFE system.

Keywords: Cell-free expression; Phage; Salmonella; felixO1.
