The effect of compounds which degrade hydrogen peroxide on the enumeration of heat-stressed cells of Salmonella senftenberg.
Greater than 90% of heat-stressed cells of Salmonella senftenberg failed to grow on trypticase soy agar. Adding to this medium compounds which are capable of degrading hydrogen peroxide allowed growth of the heat-injured cells. These compounds did not stimulate growth of heated cells of Streptococcus faecium, an organism which does not possess catalase.
