Lactic Acid Bacteria Synergy: Electrostatic Spraying, Dipping, and Formulation Applications of Lactobacillus salivarius L28 and Enterococcus faecium J19 to Enhance Cheese Safety Ag... by David L. Campos, Angela Perdomo, Kendra Nightingale, Jorge Franco, Luis Jimenez, Mindy M. Brashears

“…Recent outbreaks of listeriosis linked to cheese and recalls of cheese contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes have emerged as a significant public health concern due to the ability of this pathogen to grow during refrigerated storage. We hypothesized that a lactic acid bacteria (LAB) intervention applied onto the surface of cheese by electrostatic spray, dipping or formulation of the product with LAB would be effective in controlling L monocytogenes growth during refrigerated storage. …”
