Abstract

The antibacterial effects of one strain of Pediococcus damnosus and two strains of Pediococcus pentosaceaus against Clostridium perfringens, Listeria monocytigenes, Salmonella infantis and Yersinia enterocolitica were investigated. Growth inhibition studies were conducted in juice from minced meat incubated at +6°C and +15°C for various periods after the inoculation with pediococci. Inhibitory effects were seen for all bacteria tested.
