E. Gonzalezfandos et al., EFFECT OF 3 COMMERCIAL STARTERS ON GROWTH OF STAPHYLOCOCCUS-AUREUS AND ENTEROTOXINS(A-D) AND THERMONUCLEASE PRODUCTION IN BROTH, International journal of food microbiology, 24(1-2), 1994, pp. 321-327
The growth of four enterotoxigenic Staphylococcus aureus strains was p
artially inhibited by three commercial starters used in the meat sausa
ge industry when grown in APT broth at 30 degrees C statically. Starte
r SP318 (a mixture of selected strains of Lactobacillus sake, Pediococ
cus pentosaceus and Staphylococcus xylosus) showed the most inhibitory
activity. Staphylococcal enterotoxins (A, B, C-1 and D) synthesis was
totally inhibited by the growth of the three starters, whereas staphy
lococcal thermonuclease production was partially inhibited in mixed cu
ltures.
