Data are shown as means ± standard deviations of triplicate independent experiments. Within each column, means with different letters are significantly different (P < 0.05); small letters within Listeria strains, capital letters within competitive organisms. MIC, minimum inhibitory concentrations; MBC, minimum bactericidal concentration. ¹Indicated in the concentration of the nisin preparation containing 2.5% nisin.
