Abstract
The thermal resistance of Listeria monocytogenes associated with a milk-borne outbreak of listeriosis was determined in parallel experiments by using freely suspended bacteria and bacteria internalized by phagocytes. The latter inoculum was generated by an in vitro phagocytosis reaction with immune-antigen-elicited murine peritoneal phagocytes. The heat suspension medium was raw whole bovine milk. Both suspensions were heated at temperatures ranging from 52.2 to 71.7 degrees C for various periods of time. Mean D values for each temperature and condition of heated suspension revealed no significant differences. The extrapolated D71.7 degrees C (161 degrees F) value for bacteria internalized by phagocytes was 1.9 s. Combined tube and slug-flow heat exchanger results yielded an estimated D71.7 degrees C value of 1.6 s for freely suspended bacteria. The intracellular position did not protect L. monocytogenes from thermal inactivation.
