Summary

THE GROWTH OF THE FOOD PATHOGENS TESTED (IE STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS, LISTERIA MONOCYTOGENES, BACILLUS CEREUS, YERSINIA ENTEROCOLITICA, AND SALMONELLA INFANTIS) WAS MINIMAL AFTER A STORAGE FOR 3 DAYS AT 279 K (6 DEG C). FURTHERMORE, ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY WAS STUDIED IN MINCED MEAT SAMPLES IRRADIATED AND THEREAFTER INOCULATED WITH PSEUDOMONAS SPP, LACTOBACILLUS SPP, PEDIOCOCCUS DAMNOSUS OR BROCHOTHRIX THERMOSPHACTA AND STORED AT 279 K. THE GROWTH OF FOOD PATHOGENS WAS INHIBITED BY LACTOBACILLUS AND PSEUDOMONAS. BROCHOTHRIX DID NOT AFFECT THE GROWTH OF ANY PATHOGEN. PEDIOCOCCUS DAMNOSUS INHIBITED THE GROWTH OF SALMONELLAS. THE POSSIBLE ROLE OF INHIBITORY SUBSTANCES, NUTRIENT DEPLETION AND CELL DENSITY ARE DISCUSSED.
