A mutant of Streptococcus lactis with resistance to bacteriophages isolated in Argentina and the United States of America

Streptococcus lactis and Streptococcus cremoris have an important role in the fermentation of milk during the manufacturing of lactic products. Bacteriophages are spread in the plant environment and they may infect the starters causing technical and economic problems to the dairy industry. It is now...
