title: Inhibition of Listeria monocytogenes by Lactobacillus sake strains of meat origin.
abstract: The ability of two Lactobacillus sake strains of meat origin to inhibit the growth of Listeria monocytogenes at 4, 8, 15, 24 and 32°C in a conventional liquid media was investigated. Growth of L. monocytogenes was affected by Lac. sake strains at all temperatures. The inhibition was higher at 15, 24 and 32°C than at refrigeration temperatures. The inhibitory activity of both lactobacilli was similar perhaps due to the fact that Lac. sake 148 produces a bacteriocin inhibitory to L. monocytogenes, while Lac. sake 23 is a strong lactic acid producer. The antagonism exhibited by the lactobacilli on the L. monocytogenes strains seems to display a bacteriostatic rather than a bacteriocidal effect.
