The present invention relates to a novel bacteriophage, more particularly, a bacteriophage that has a specific bactericidal activity against Salmonella typhimurium, Salmonella gallinarum, or Salmonella pullorum, a composition for the prevention or treatment of infectious diseases including salmonellosis and Salmonella food poisoning caused by Salmonella typhimurium, Fowl typhoid caused by Salmonella gallinarum, and Pullorum disease caused by Salmonella pullorum, which comprises the bacteriophage as an active ingredient, and an animal feed, drinking water, cleaner, and sanitizer which comprise the bacteriophage as an active ingredient. The present invention also provides important insights into prevention and control strategies against Salmonella infection and suggests that the use of bacteriophage can be a novel, safe, and effectively plausible alternative to antibiotics for the prevention of Salmonella infection in poultry.
