title: Inhibition of Yersinia enterocolitica by Lactobacillus sake strains of meat origin.
abstract: The growth of Yersinia enterocolitica at 4, 8, 15 and 24°C, in mixed cultures with Lactobacillus sake strains previously isolated from Spanish dry fermented sausages was investigated. Growth of Y. enterocolitica was affected by L. sake strains at all temperatures studied. The inhibition was higher as the incubation temperature increased. L. sake 148, a bacteriocinogenic strain, was less inhibitory to Y. enterocolitica growth than L. sake 23, a stronger lactic acid producer strain. The low pH and the lactic acid produced by the lactobacilli seem to be major factors contributing to the inhibition of Y. enterocolitica strains.
