    Foodborne pathogens have become a constant threat to the consumer and food industry.
    Reduce efficacy of antibiotics with emergence of resistant bacteria has limited the opportunities
    for controlling pathogenic bacteria in food commodities and treating foodborne infections.
    Bacteriophages can be a promising alternative for alleviate the risk of transmitting pathogenic
    bacteria via food commodities. Therefore, this research was conducted to find distribution of
    bacteriophages in diverse niches in order to identify suitable sources for isolating bacteriophages
    to use controlling foodborne pathogens. Firstly bacterial strains were screened for lysogenic and
    selected suitable host bacterial strains were used for isolating and determining bacteriophage titer
    in fresh raw food and environmental samples. Eighteen different lytic bacteriophages effective
    against Campylobacter, S. aureus, L. monocytogenes and E. coli were isolated from this study.
    Bacteriophages titer was determined within range of 102
    to 1010 PFU/mL and bacteriophages
    were most frequently isolated from chicken (60%) samples. The isolated bacteriophages could
    be potential candidates for controlling foodborne diseases.
