Abstract

A total of 47 psychrotrophic pseudomonads isolated from raw milk came from Newfoundland (19 isolates), British Columbia (6 isolates), Ontario (19 isolates), and Cork, Ireland (3 isolates). The susceptibility of these was tested against 30 bacteriophages isolated from cold-storage beef. Distinct lysotypes were observed with isolates representing different geographic regions. Phages as agents in the control of bacterial populations in milk is discussed.
