[en] Bovine mastitis is a major production disease in dairy cattle and complementary treatments to antimicrobials are urgently needed. Intramammary phage therapy is a promising approach but characterizing isolated phages in milk is a crucial initial step. This study aimed to compare the stability and lytic activity of 10 phages targeting E. coli in milk and assessing their stability at different temperatures and pH.
