Abstract

The growth of four enterotoxigenic Staphylococcus aureus strains was partially inhibited by three commercial starters used in the meat sausage industry when grown in APT broth at 30°C statically. Starter SP318 (a mixture of selected strains of Lactobacillus sake, Pediococcus pentosaceus and Staphylococcus xylosus) showed the most inhibitory activity. Staphylococcal enterotoxins (A, B, C1 and D) synthesis was totally inhibited by the growth of the three starters, whereas staphylococcal thermonuclease production was partially inhibited in mixed cultures.
