Abstract
Inhibition of two strains of Clostridium perfringens by Streptococcus faecalis in Cooked Meat Medium containing curing salts was investigated. Inhibitory effects were evaluated by growth-curve studies and by measurement of inhibition zones on agar. Both strains of C. perfringens were inhibited by S. faecalis in a medium containing glucose, although to different degrees. Addition of nitrite to the medium containing glucose increased the inhibitory effect of S. faecalis towards C. perfringens. Production of lactic acid by S. faecalis appears to play an important role in this inhibition of C. perfringens.
