Salmonella biofilm prevention and control is of great importance. This study, investigated the use of the isolated phage KM16 belonging to the family Myoviridae in the order Caudovirales. The phage genome size was 170,126 bp. Almost all phages were adsorbed to the host within 20 min. KM16 had a latent period of 70 min followed by a rise period of 40 min. Phage KM16 had the ability to lytically infect 10 out of the 12 clinical strains of S. paratyphi tested. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the S. paratyphi 16S rRNA, crispr 1 and fimA genes correlated with the lytic spectrum of phage KM16. The lytic spectrum of phage KM16 correlated with Salmonella pili (fimA), and Salmonella pili were the recognition site for phage adsorption to the host. Phage KM16 (MOI = 0.1) had a better anti-biofilm effect than kanamycin sulfate (10 ug ml-1) in high-concentration Salmonella cultures.
