Listeria Busting Bacteriophage

A Dutch company called Micreos looks like they will gain approval in Australasia for a bacteriophage that attacks Listeria and could be used as a processing aid.

The bacteriophage is designed for use as a spray or dip for targeted applications on food products not as a surface disinfectant or general bactericide. The P100 bacteriophage will not effect any other bacteria except Listeria and are harmless to plants, animals and humans.
