Abstract

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB), particularly Lactococcus lactis, are of great significance in dairy fermentations. Many LAB strains are susceptible to attack by phages that affect their technological, biochemical and physiological functions. Phages of L. lactis are a serious concern because of the economic importance of this bacterium in the dairy industry. Members of L. lactis phages belonging to the P335, 936 and c2 groups are more problematic for the dairy industry. Many phages of the 936 group are resistant to various thermal and biocidal treatments commonly used in the dairy industry. This article reviews the diversity of L. lactis bacteriophages of the P335, 936 and c2 groups and discusses their interaction with their bacterial hosts. In addition, this review provides an overview of the resistance of L. lactis phages to thermal treatments and chemical biocides, and highlights some novel strategies to destroy these phages.
