New, highly active clones of bacteriophage against S. typhimurium, S. sonnei and S. flexneri strains have been isolated. Susceptibility of S. typhimurium strains to the phages made up 96.3%. The phage adsorption period on the host cell varies within 10-15 min, the latent period is 22-28 min, and the yield of the phage makes up 110-180 phage particles per virion. Salmonella phages belong to the morphological types of Myoviridae and Siphoviridae, while shigella phages belong to the morphological types of Siphoviridae, Podoviridae and Myoviridae.
