IJMM 2019; 12(6): 399-408 Background and Aims: Bacteriophages are mandatory bacterial parasites that are harmless to human and animal, which are used by dipping or spraying in food as natural antimicrobial agents. The use of these methods leads to wasting or trapping of phage in food, but its immobilization on the polymer surface facilitates the contact of phage with the host cell at the food surface. Therefore, the aim of this study was to immobilize the lytic phage of Escherichia coli on the cellulose acetate film and investigate of its antimicrobial effect.
