A proposed nonpathogenic biological indicator for thermal inactivation of Listeria monocytogenes
Listeria innocua M1 was developed as a thermal processing indicator organism for L. monocytogenes by selection of a rifampin- and streptomycin-resistant mutant. Z(D) values were 5.6 and 5.8 degrees C, and D(68 degrees C) values were 3.8 and 4.9 s for L. monocytogenes and L. innocua, respectively, in...

Zusammenfassung: | Listeria innocua M1 was developed as a thermal processing indicator organism for L. monocytogenes by selection of a rifampin- and streptomycin-resistant mutant. Z(D) values were 5.6 and 5.8 degrees C, and D(68 degrees C) values were 3.8 and 4.9 s for L. monocytogenes and L. innocua, respectively, in skim milk. The advantages of easy selection, similar heat resistance, and nonpathogenicity make L. innocua M1 appropriate for challenge studies designed to evaluate process lethality with respect to L. monocytogenes |
