title: Bacteriocin-producing Enterococcus casseliflavus IM 416K1, a natural antagonist for control of Listeria monocytogenes in Italian sausages ("cacciatore").
abstract: The bacteriocinogenic Enterococcus casseliflavus IM 416K1 (Bac+) isolated from Italian sausages or its bacteriocin Enterocin 416K1, with strong anti-listerial activity, were used in trials to evaluate the effect on Listeria monocytogenes NCTC 10888 in artificially inoculated Italian sausages ("cacciatore"). In trials with Enterocin 416K1 added, L. monocytogenes showed a significant reduction as compared to the control inoculated with L. monocytogenes alone. The elimination of L. monocytogenes was only obtained in sausages added with E. casseliflavus IM 416K1 Bac+.
