rvive insufficient heat treatment and germinate, rapid growth to high numbers is possible if cooling regimes are not appropriate. Once the temperature drops below 12C, growth will be limited. The second type, carrying the gene for CPE production on a plasmid, produces spores that are rather heat sensitive leading to full inactivation by appropriate heat treatments. However, this type showed quite good growth at 12C.
According to Marjon Wells-Bennik, this has practical implications and points t
