Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Cell suspensions of three pathogens were exposed to hydrostatic pressure (HP), bacteriocin mixture (nisin and pediocin) or a combination of HP+bacteriocins and changes in colony forming units (cfu) and cell-morphology by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were studied. Cell viability loss, as determined from the reduction in cfu before and after a treatment, occurred in Listeria monocytogenes by all three treatments and in Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli O157:H7 by HP and HP+bacteriocin combination. Cell wall and cell membrane collapse and cell lysis was indicated in L. monocytogenes exposed to bacteriocin or HP+bacteriocin and in Salmonella and E. coli exposed to HP or HP+bacteriocin.
