Objective: To screen three LAB (Lactobacillus plantarum, Pediococcus acidilactici, and
Pediococcus pentosaceus) for antimicrobial activity against the foodborne pathogens Listeria
monocytogenes, Salmonella, and Escherichia coli.
Methods: 1 ml of the pathogen was placed into a petri dish. Then, 15-20 ml molten tryptic soy
agar (TSA) tempered to 50°C was added. When the TSA solidified, a loopful of LAB was
spotted onto the agar. Plates were incubated at 35°C for 24 hours then the zone of inhibition was
measured from the boarder of the bacterial colony to the perimeter of the clearing.
