Acid-adapted and NAA non-O157 STEC strains were not inhibited in the L. plantarum-fermented goat's milk, while the goat's milk fermented with the combination of L. plantarum and starter culture inhibited AA more than NAA non-O157 STEC strains. Environmental acid-tolerant non-O157 STEC strains were not inhibited by L. plantarum, starter culture or combination of starter culture with L. plantarum unless they were subjected to prior acid adaptation such as backslopping.en© 2016 Society of Dairy Technology.
