Thermal Resistance of Staphylococcus aureus in Milk, Whey, and Phosphate Buffer1

RESUMO
The thermal resistance of four strains of coagulase-positive Staphylococcus aureus was determined in phosphate buffer, whole milk, skim milk, and Cheddar cheese whey. The logarithmic order of death prevailed until about 99.99 to 99.999% of the organisms were destroyed, after which there was a decline in the rate of destruction. The organisms were more resistant in skim milk and Cheddar cheese whey than in phosphate buffer and whole milk. Thermal resistance varied among strains of S. aureus but was consistent with individual strains. As the age of cultures of strain B-120 increased from 12 to 228 hr, the D55 values increased from 0.95 to 3.0. The thermal resistance of cultures obtained from survivors to partial thermal destruction was similar to that of the parent cultures.
