Abstract
Lacticin 3147 is a broad-spectrum bacteriocin produced by Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis DPC3147 which is bactericidal against a range of mastitis-causing streptococci and staphylococci. In this study, both l acticin 3147 and the lantibiotic nisin were separately incorporated in to an intramammary teat seal product. The seal containing lacticin 314 7 exhibited excellent antimicrobial activity and might form the basis of an improved treatment for the prevention of mastitis in dry cows.
