Resumo

The survival of Salmonella typhimurium was investigated by bioluminescence and standard plating techniques in pure cultures and in the presence of competitors after the cultures were heated to 55 degrees C for increasing lengths of time. Decimal reduction (D) values increased from 0.43 to 2.09 min in the presence of 10(8) CFU of competitors ml-1, indicating a significant protective effect.
