Popis: 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.
