Among them, c2-type phages remain insufficiently studied, and rapid detection methods are limited. This study aimed to develop a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay for sensitive detection of genetically diverse c2 phages. As part of this work, 12 prevalent c2 phages isolated from Russian dairy plants and 22 additional c2 phages were sequenced and analyzed. Conserved genomic regions were identified, and two primer sets were designed to account for the high genetic variability of c2 phages. Together, these primer sets enabled detection of all 34 tested c2 isolates despite varying numbers of mismatches within primer-binding regions. The assay detected 34 c2 isolates with varying numbers of mismatches in primer-binding regions. The detection limit was 10\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    copies\/\u03bcL for plasmid DNA and 10\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    \u201310\n                    <jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>\n                    PFU\/mL for bacterial lysates.

The developed assay provides a rapid and cost-effective tool for phage monitoring in dairy fermentations and may help reduce the risk of fermentation failures. Furthermore, the proposed approach may serve as a framework for developing diagnostic assays targeting other genetically diverse bacteriophage groups.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmicb.2026.1912103","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,10]],"date-time":"2026-08-10T06:18:20Z","timestamp":1786342700000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Development and validation of a LAMP assay for detection of genetically diverse Lactococcus c2-type bacteriophages in dairy environments"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Sofia A.","family":"Venedyukhina","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory for Research on Molecular Mechanisms of Longevity, Department of Biology and Biotechnology, HSE University","place":["Moscow, Russia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ivan D.","family":"Antipenko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory for Research on Molecular Mechanisms of Longevity, Department of Biology and Biotechnology, HSE University","place":["Moscow, Russia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ninel P.","family":"Sorokina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"All-Russian Research Institute of Butter and Cheese Making, Branch of the Gorbatov Federal Research Center for Food Systems","place":["Uglich, Russia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kseniya A.","family":"Smagina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"All-Russian Research Institute of Butter and Cheese Making, Branch of the Gorbatov Federal Research Center for Food Systems","place":["Uglich, Russia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrey B.","family":"Lisitsyn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gorbatov Federal Research Center for Food Systems of RAS","place":["Moscow, Russia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aleksandr G.","family":"Kruchinin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gorbatov Federal Research Center for Food Systems of RAS","place":["Moscow, Russia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maxim Yu","family":"Shkurnikov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory for Research on Molecular Mechanisms of Longevity, Department of Biology and Biotechnology, HSE University","place":["Moscow, Russia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2152","DOI":"10.1093\/clinchem\/35.10.2152","article-title":"Determination of the lower limit of detection","volume":"35","author":"Anderson","year":"1989","journal-title":"Clin.
