We analyzed surface waters collected in Panonian plane, for the presence of bacterium P. shigelloides. The bacterial strains were preserved and characterized for virulence factors and antibiotic resistance. In addition, isolation of P. shigelloides specific bacteriophages was performed. Characterization of isolated phages included the following tests: examination of lytic efficacy, lytic spectrum, the influence of various ecological factors, the determination of the protein profile and the characterization of the genome. In addition, isolated bacteriophages were detected using a flow cytometer. The results of this paper demonstrate that the surface waters of Panonian plane contain bacterium P. shigelloides and its specific bacteriophages. Since P. shigelloides – specific bacteriophages are for the first time isolated, the results of this paper can represent the first step in the studies related to the regulation of the number of this bacterium by the application of bacteriophages.
