Abstract

A method for producing bacteriophage stock compositions including (a) incubating a culture medium including at least one bacterial strain, at least one bacteriophage strain that can infect the bacterial strain, and at least one antibiotic, wherein the concentration of the antibiotic in the medium is in a range which causes about 0.1% to about 99.9% inhibition of the growth of the bacterial strain in the absence of the bacteriophage strain; (b) continuing incubation of the culture medium until bacterial lysis occurs, thereby obtaining a bacteriophage lysate; and preparing a crude bacteriophage extract from the culture medium.
