Abstract

Recently, a <i>Salmonella</i> Typhi isolate producing CTX-M-15 extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) and with decreased ciprofloxacin susceptibility was isolated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We have selected bacteriophages that show strong lytic activity against this isolate and have potential for phage-based treatment of <i>S</i>. Typhi, and <i>Salmonella</i> in general.
