Summary

BACTERIAL CULTURES FROM IRRADIATED (1 KILOGRAY) AND NONIRRADIATED, VACUUM-PACKAGED GROUND PORK HELD AT 278 K (5 DEG C) WERE ISOLATED AND CHARACTERIZED OVER A 12-DAY STORAGE PERIOD. THE INITIAL FLORA WAS COMPOSED MOSTLY OF PSEUDOMONAS SP AND ENTEROBACTER SP. ALTHOUGH THE MICROFLORA OF NONIRRADIATED SAMPLES GRADUALLY SHIFTED FROM GRAM-NEGATIVE TO GRAM-POSITIVE MICROORGANISMS, THE IRRADIATED GROUND PORK MICROFLORA WAS MAINLY GRAM-POSITIVE SHORTLY AFTER IRRADIATION AND INCREASED TO 97% AFTER 9 DAYS AT 278 K.
