Modelling the Survival of Acid-Adapted and Nonadapted Escherichia coli O157:H7 in Burkina: A Western African Traditional Fermented Milk Product

Table 6

Parameter estimation (max growth rate) for acid-adapted and acid-non-adapted E. coli O157:H7 using the Baranyi model.

Sample	Rate (log CFU/mL/h)
AAEC5	-0.071	0.966
NAEC5	-0.042	0.908
AAEC15	-0.153	0.956
NAEC15	-0.055	0.951
AAEC30	-0.259	0.947
NAEC30	-0.093	0.763

AAEC = acid adapted E. coli O157:H7; NA = acid-non-adapted E. coli O157:H7.
