Summary

A strain of Shigella boydii 18 involved in a bean salad outbreak and S. boydii 18 ATCC 35966 were used to inoculate bean salad. Bean salad samples were stored at 4 or 23 °C. At 4 °C, the S. boydii survived for the duration of the shelf life of the salad but did not grow. At 23 °C, both strains increased by two orders of magnitude by day 2 and decreased rapidlythereafter. This demonstrates the importance of proper storage in preventing the outgrowth of foodborne pathogens.
