Abstract

In this paper the use of bacteriocinogenic lactic acid bacteria and bacteriocins in food is presented, in particular regarding their antilisterial activity. Results of most studies are affirmative to the standardisation of the use of bacteriocinogenic starter cultures, since they enhancethe safety of products due to more intensive reduction of pathogen. The majority of data on positive influence of bacteriocinogenic starters are related to studies performed on fermented sausages, but antilisterial effects has been also described in raw vacuum packaged poultry meat, cooked cured meat products and fish.
