Results presented here are the first contribution on the anti-staphylococcal activity of bacteriocin AS-48 in a model meat sausage system. We have examined bacteriocin application, by inoculation with the enterocin AS-48 producer strain Enterococcus faecalis A-48-32 or by adding a semi-purified bacteriocin preparation. AS-48 inhibits proliferation of Staphylococcus aureus in sausages when added at concentrations of 30 or 40μg/g, achieving a significant reduction of 2 and 5.31 log units… CONTINUE READING
