Summary

The populations changes of Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Listeria innocua, Salmonella typhimurium and Clostridium perfringens inoculated separately onto modified-atmosphere-packaged fresh shredded carrot and cabbage were investigated. Populations of pathogens were enumerated by direct plating on selective media on the day of inoculation and 2, 4, 6, and 8 days postinoculation. S. typhimurium was found to be absent following 2 days of storage at 7 deg C. Statistically significant decreases in numbers of all other pathogens detected on day 0 and day 8 were observed.
