Table 1 Inhibition of Listeria monocytogenes ATCC® 19111™, Staphylococcus aureus 3048, Escherichia coli 3014 and Salmonella Typhimurium FP1 by grown cultures of Lb. plantarum SF9C and Lb. brevis SF9B, separately and combined, evaluated by agar spot-test method and expressed as the diameter of inhibition zones around the grown cultures (cm)
