Pseudomonas aeruginosa is Gram-negative bacterium, one of the leading cause of drug-resistant nosocomial infections in developing countries. This bacterium possesses chromosomally encoded efflux pumps, poor permeability of outer-membrane and high tendency for biofilm formation which are tools to confer resistance. Bacteriophages are regarded as feasible treatment option for control of resistant P. aeruginosa. The aim of the current study was isolate and characterized a bacteriophage against P. aeruginosa with MDR and biofilm ability.

A bacteriophage MA-1 with moderate host range was isolated from waste water. The phage was considerable heat and pH stable. Electron microscopy revealed that phage MA-1 belongs to Myoviridae family. Its genome was dsDNA (≈50 kb), coding for eighteen different proteins (ranging from 12 to 250 KDa). P. aeruginosa-2949 log growth phase was significantly reduced by phage MA-1 (2.5 × 103 CFU/ml) as compared to control (without phage). Phage MA-1 also showed significant reductions of 2.0, 2.5 and 3.2 folds in 24, 48, and 74 h old biofilms after 6 h treatment with phage respectively as compared to control. It was concluded from this study that phage MA-1 has capability of killing P. aeruginosa planktonic cells and biofilm, but for complete eradication cocktail will more effective to avoid resistance.
