Surface microflora of four smear-ripened cheeses
Article Abstract:
The cheese surface microflora of four Irish smear-ripened cheeses, three of which were deliberately smeared with surface ripening cultures and one of which was not, using a polyphasic approach are identified and compared. Inoculating bacterial or yeast species or even strains that are known to colonize the cheese surface might be valuable for preventing the growth of undesirable organisms, particularly pathogens and spoilage microorganisms, and the unnecessary cost of inadequate ripening.

Evaluation of new broth media for microdilution antibiotic susceptibility testing of Lactobacilli, Pediococci, Lactococci, and bifidobacteria
Article Abstract:
Nine pure or mixed broth media are evaluated for their suitabilities to investigate MICs in a microdilution test of 19 antibacterial agents for lactic acid bacteria (LAB) of the genera Lactobacillus, Pediococcus, Lactococcus and Bifidobacterium. The LAB susceptibility test medium has provided the most optimal medium basis in terms of growth support of nonenterococcal LAN and correct indication of MICs of international control strains.

Growth characteristics of Brevibacterium, Corynebacterium, Microbacterium, and Staphylococcus spp. isolated from surface-ripened cheese
Article Abstract:
The studies of growth characteristics of five bacterial organisms isolated from the surface of smear cheese are reported. All the bacteria exhibited activities related to lactate dehydrogenase and glutamate pyruvate transaminase and showed absence of urease activity.
