In this research paper the antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity of phage cocktail against the coagulase negative was investigated. Three isolates obtained from clinical bovine mastitis samples were characterized and identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Bacteriophages with lytic activity against isolates were isolated from dairy farm effluents.
