title: Penetration of poultry meat byPseudomonas andLactobacillus spp.
abstract: The penetration of poultry muscle strips byPseudomonas putida, P. fragi, Lactobacillus plantarum andL. casei was studied at 37°C. The first three bacteria penetrated along the muscular septa whileLactobacillus casei did not invade the poultry muscle strips at all. The penetration by both pseudomonads occurred throughout the 3 cm muscle strip butL. plantarum showed minor penetration up to 2 cm only.
