An agitated medium with internal pH control (IPCM-2) was inoculated to contain Listeria monocytogenes (strain V7, Scott A or California) at ca. 103 CFU/ml and Streptococcus cremoris (Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris) or Streptococcus lactis (Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis) at 0.25 or 1.0% The inoculated medium was incubated with shaking in a waterbath at 30°C for 30 h. L. monocytogenes and lactic acid bacteria were enumerated and pH was determined at appropriate intervals. The area on a figure between curves for the control and treatment and designated as the area of inhibition (AI) was calculated and used to quantify inhibition of each strain of L. monocytogenes for a particular set of conditions in IPCM-2. Statistical analysis of AI values calculated from data obtained at 6, 24, and 30 h of incubation revealed no significant (p < 0.05) difference in inhibition among the three strains of L. monocytogenes for each type of lactic streptococcus present. Streptococcus cremoris was significantly (0.01 < p < 0.05) more inhibitory to all three strains of L. monocytogenes than was S. lactis at 24 and 30 h of incubation. IPCM-2 is considered ready for use at a pH of 5.4 or less, which was reached between 12 and 15 h of incubation in samples containing 0.25 or 1.0% S. cremoris. Populations of L. monocytogenes in such samples were ca. 104 to 106 CFU/ml regardless of strain of Listeria or percentage of S. cremoris added as inoculum. In samples initially containing 0.25 or 1.0% S. lactis, pH 5.4 was not reached until after 18–24 h of incubation. At this point all three strains of L. monocytogenes had grown to ca. 105 CFU/ml regardless of percentage of S. lactis added as inoculum. Despite the inhibition seen, substantial numbers of the pathogen were present when the medium was ready for use.

Nowadays, consumers are interested in cheese produced without chemical additives or high-temperature treatments, among which, protective lactic acid bacteria (LAB) cultures could play a major role. In this study, the aims were to isolate, identify and characterize antilisterial LAB from traditionally produced cheese, and utilize suitable LAB in cheese production. Among 200 isolated LAB colonies, isolate PFMI565, with the strongest antilisterial activity, was identified as Enterococcus durans. E. durans PFMI565 was sensitive to clinically important antibiotics (erytromicin, tetracycline, kanamycin, penicillin, vancomycin) and had low acidifying activity in milk. E. durans PFMI565 and the previously isolated bacteriocin producer, Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis BGBU1–4, were tested for their capability to control Listeria monocytogenes in experimentally contaminated ultrafiltered (UF) cheeses during 35 days of storage at 4 °C. The greatest reductions of L. monocytogenes numbers were achieved in UF cheese made with L. lactis subsp. lactis BGBU1–4 or with the combination of L. lactis subsp. lactis BGBU1–4 and E. durans PFMI565. This study underlines the potential application of E. durans PFMI565 and L. lactis subsp. lactis BGBU1–4 in bio-control of L. monocytogenes in UF cheese.

Afuega'l Pitu is an artisanal acid-coagulated cheese manufactured in Asturias (northern Spain) and mainly consumed between the 3rd and the 30th day of ripening. Six cheese-making trials were performed in a pilot plant by using pasteurized whole milk inoculated with Listeria monocytogenes (strain L2 [serotype 1/2a], L39, or L41 [serotype 4b]) to ca. 2.7 log CFU/ml. A starter containing three strains, Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis IPLA 947, Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis biovar diacetylactis IPLA 838, and Leuconostoc citreum IPLA 616, grown separately in milk and combined in the volumetric proportion 3:1:1.3 was used. During the acidification L. monocytogenes counts increased 2.78- to 7.03-fold, depending on the strain, and remained within the curd; from this time counts decreased abruptly and were not detected in cheeses beyond the 7th day. The average pH in the curd was 4.43, and it decreased to around 4.0 in 5- to 7-day-old cheeses. These pH values were near the tolerance limit for L. monocytogenes and probably caused cell damage. Although moisture, aw, and NaCl levels were not limiting for the growth and survival of L. monocytogenes, salt content must be considered as a contributing factor in L. monocytogenes inactivation. Finally, the L2 strain grew better in curd and was slightly more resistant to low pH and refrigeration than strain L39 or L41. The manufacture of Afuega'l Pitu cheese from pasteurized milk and the design of a specific starter from the autochthonous lactic microbiota can lead to a safer product that can be consumed after very short ripening periods.
