Figure 4.
Recovery of S. Enteritidis () and S. Typhimurium (
) artificially contaminated in (a) chicken meat and (b) sunflower sprouts treated with a phage cocktail and stored at 4 °C for 4 days. Control (non-phage cocktail treated) of S. Enteritidis and S. Typhimurium inoculated on both samples presented by solid line and dashed line, respectively. Bars represent the mean standard deviation (n = 3). The sign (*) on the bars indicates significant differences (p < 0.05) of bacterial count between control and treatment during storage time for a given Salmonella strain. Different uppercase letters on the bars indicate significant differences (p < 0.05) of bacterial count among days of storage for a given Salmonella strain.
