Use of Predicting Models for Escherichia coli O157:H7 Growth on Different Temperatures in Pathogen Control

Escherichia coli O157:H7 inhabited by the intestines of human beings induces intestinal disease that endangers the human health. The article studied effects of temperature, pH and sodium chloride concentration on the growth kinetics of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in broth. The optimal growth conditions were thereby determined. Predicting models for growth of the pathogen on different temperatures in nutritional broth for export chicken were developed. According to these models, some measures to control the pathogen in export chicken are presented.
