A strong synergistic effect of reuterin in combination with nisin, lacticin 481 or enterocin AS-48 on <i>Listeria monocytogenes</i> was observed. Only nisin increased the antimicrobial activity of reuterin against <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>. Bactericidal activity of reuterin towards <i>Escherichia coli</i> O157:H7, <i>Salmonella enterica</i>, <i>Yersinia enterocolitica</i>, <i>Aeromonas hydrophila</i> and <i>Campylobacter jejuni</i> was not enhanced significantly by the addition of any of the bacteriocins investigated. The synergism of reuterin and nisin against <i>L. monocytogenes</i> and <i>S. aureus</i> was also found at refrigeration temperatures, where the pathogens were completely inactivated. Refrigerated milk treated with both natural antimicrobials would mean a feasible system to control pathogenic contaminants. 收起
