TL;DR: Compared to monoculture, L. monocytogenes growth rate in co-culture was not reduced but the growth of the pathogen stopped as soon as BM entered the stationary phase, and this reduction in maximum population density can be explained by nutrient consumption and exhaustion by BM.

TL;DR: The goal of this study was to identify at the species level a large collection of Gram-negative dairy bacteria isolated from milks or semi-hard and soft, smear-ripened cheeses (cheese core or surface samples) from different regions of France.

TL;DR: The FRISBEE tool as discussed by the authors is developed within the framework of the European Union FP7 project, Food Refrigeration Innovations for Safety, consumers' Benefit, Environmental impact and Energy optimisation along the cold chain in Europe.

TL;DR: This model seems relevant to take into consideration the natural variability of processes governing the microbial behaviour in foods and is an effective approach to assess the probability to exceed a critical threshold during the storage of foods like the limit of 100 CFU/g in the case of L. monocytogenes.

TL;DR: The proposed methods were used within the French national program of predictive microbiology, Sym′Previus, to include challenge test results in the database and to obtain predictive models designed for microbial growth in food products.
