Summary

Lactic acid bacteria isolated from commercially produced alfalfa sprouts were screened for activity against Listeria monocytogenes F4258. Most active isolates were identified as Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis. The isolates fell into two categories, strains that inhibited by acid production only, and strains that appeared to have additional inhibitory activity.
