Plaques of bacteriophage cultured on S. enteritidis lawn. Clear transparent plaques of approximately 1-1.5 mm diameter were observed on a double-layer agar plate (black arrow). 

Figure 3

Macroscopic findings of liver and cecum of experimental chicks. The liver was white foci necrotic (black arrow) (A), and the cecum was swollen (B).
