“…Various methods are used to determine differences in susceptibility to bacteriocins (6,16,18,38,40,42,47,52,60). To achieve high discrimination between strains with different susceptibilities, a standardized microtiter plate assay, performed with bacteriocin solutions of known concentrations, was used to provide data necessary to determine the potencies of the bacteriocins sakacin P, pediocin PA-1, sakacin A, and nisin against L. monocytogenes.…”
