Figure Lengend Snippet: Schematic representation of the polystyrene 96-well microtiter plates inoculated with pure bacterial suspensions, for the incubation periods of 72, 48, and 24 h at 25 °C, or 5, 12, and 16 days at 4 °C ( A ), and mixed cultures used for subsequent assays ( B ). B1— B. thermosphacta ATCC11509 T ; A1— A. hydrophila A259; E1— E. faecalis QSE123; E2— E. faecalis V583; L1— L. monocytogenes CECT 937; L2— L. monocytogenes CECT 935. Note 1: Negative control (sterile control) contained only BHI broth. Note 2: Similar organization was applied for the mixed culture assays.
Article Snippet: For L1 ( L. monocytogenes CECT 937) and A1 (A1— A. hydrophila A259), an intermediate MBEC of 443.14 μg/μL was reported, and for E2 ( E. faecalis V583) and B1 ( B. thermosphacta ATCC 11509 Τ ), it was 886.28 μg/μL.
