483. The evolution of the lactic streptococci

Extract

Although milk may be considered to be the normal habitat of the lactic streptococci, their adaptation to this environment must have followed the domestication of mammals, for these organisms are not pathogenic and do not normally occur in the udder. If this reasoning is accepted, then the small biological age of these organisms logically follows, and possibly they are the youngest members of this genus.
