RESISTANCE MECHANISMS TO IC TYPE R/M BACTERIOPHAGES OF LACTIC ACID BACTERIA

摘要

The invention concerns polypeptides constituting subunits of a resistance mechanism to Ic type R/M bacteriophages, active against the phages of lactic acid bacteria, and nucleic acid sequences coding for said polypeptides. The expression of said polypeptides in lactic acid bacteria enables to increase resistance to the attacks of bacteriophages.
