Summary

A method of preventing the action of bacteriophages on starters in cheese milk is described. Direct intramuscular injection of high titre phage preparation into a cow resulted in the appearance in the blood serum and milk of a high concentration of antibody. Even after considerable dilution this antibody is capable of neutralizing the homologous phage and serologically related phages. Methods of concentrating the antibody-containing milk were examined with a view to commercial application of the method in the protection of starter bacteria from phage attack.
