| Abstract: | Inhibition of isolation of Listeria monocytogenes by bacteriocin-like substance (BLS)-producing Listeria innocua after enrichment culture was investigated. When 26 L. monocytogenes strains were examined in combination with eight L. innocua strains using the spot on lawn method, 52/208 (25.0%) combinations showed the growth inhibition of L. monocytogenes. When two Listeria species were cultured simultaneously in selective enrichment broth, inhibition of isolation of L. monocytogenes was observed in 12/52 of the combinations at 24h (23.1%), in 24/52 at 48h (46.2%) and in 30/52 (57.7%) after 7 days of incubation. The randomly amplified polymorphic DNA profiles showed no interstrain similarities between either strains of the BLS-producing L. innocua or the BLS-sensitive L. monocytogenes strains. Therefore inhibition by BLS-producing L. innocua of isolation of L. monocytogenes after enrichment culture is unlikely to be dependent upon a particular genetic profile. |
