Bacteriophages are intracellular parasites, whose host is bacterial cells, and within these they are species-specific, as Escherichia coli bacteriophages will only infect this and not another bacterial specie and for this reason bacteriophages are a potential therapeutic tool against infections caused by multi-resistant bacteria, such as: Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The objective of the present investigation was the phenotypic characterization of multiresistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteriophages isolated from sewage from the province of Trujillo. For this purpose, 4 samples were collected from the districts of Trujillo, Buenos Aires, El Porvenir and Moche, then, 10 bacteriophages were isolated and purified for each of the 10 multiresistant strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, subsequently, the host range was determined and their infectivity was evaluated after being exposed to ultraviolet light, high temperatures, low temperatures and different pH scales. The results showed that the purified bacteriophages, mostly possess a wide host range, having managed to infect a maximum of 8 out of 10 strains of multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa, likewise, a large part of the bacteriophages maintained their infectivity after having been exposed to ultraviolet light, high temperatures, different pH and low temperatures.
