[Pseudomonas aeruginosa in raw and pasteurized milk].
Eighteen strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, i.e. 8.87%, were isolated during a year from 203 samples of raw milk. Two Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains, i.e. 4%, were isolated from 50 samples of pasteurized milk. The strains were isolated using propagation techniques in meat-peptone broth with malachite green and on selective media--on centrimide agar (CEM) and on Pseudomonas F agar. All the isolated strains produced protease, whereas lipase was produced by only five strains. The strains were devitalized when exposed to pasteurization temperatures (72 degrees C) for 20 seconds. At cold store temperatures (4 degrees C), Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain cells propagated on average by two orders, inhibitory effects of low temperatures were recorded only with one strain. Inhibitory effects of milk cultures (cream, yogurt) on Pseudomonas aeruginosa were observed; their effects were more clear-cut at the temperature of 4 degrees C. The strains were markedly susceptible to gentamycin.
