Based on literature review and experimental results with the PR772/E. coli system, this study proposes a series of reliable, cost effective and time saving procedures which can be used, with minor adjustments, to propagate, concentrate and purify any bacteriophage. The main focus of this work is to ensure maximum host sensitivity and high bacteriophage yields, effective particle concentration, and maximum total organic carbon removal from the final lysate to produce optimal bacteriophage suspensions for use in performance demonstrations.
