The effect of a nisin-produdng Lactococcus lactis spp. lactis (L. lactic) on the growth and attachment of Listeria monocytogenes Scott A and Brie 1 on stainless steel and their growth in Brain Heart Infusion broth was determined. Viable cells of Listeria decreased rapidly after 9¡12 hr of incubation at 21¡É and after 6¡9 hr of incubation at 32¡É in the presence of L. lactic. The number of L. monocytogenes Scott A attached to stainless steel in pure culture was 2.5¡¿10 exp (3)/§² at 21¡É and 2.3¡¿10 exp (3)/§² at 32¡É after 48 hr of incubation, but was only 10/§² at 21¡É and 1.1¡¿10/§² at 32¡É in the presence of L. lactis. Results from L monocytogenes strain Brie 1 were similar to those from strain Scott A. The population of L. monocytogenes Scott A which attached to stainless steel with previously adherent L. lactis was 1.8¡¿10 exp (2)/§² at 21¡É and 8.2¡¿10 exp (2)/§² at 32¡É, whereas the population attached to sterile stainless steel was 12¡¿10 exp (3)/§² at 21¡É and 2.1¡¿10 exp (2)/§² at 32¡É. For L. monocytogenes Brie 1, the attached population of the control was 1.6¡¿10 exp (4)/§² at 21¡É and 3.2¡¿10 exp (2)/§² at 32¡É, and on stainless steel with adherent L. lactis, it was 1.1¡¿10 /§² at 21¡É and 6.9¡¿10/§² at 32¡É. Surface adherent L. lactis was less inhibitory to attachment of L. monocytogenes on stainless steel than a liquid culture inoculum. Listeria attached to stainless steel survived dry storage for 20 days both in the presence and absence of adherent lactococd.
