RESUMO
The time-temperature combinations necessary to destroy Mycobacterium bovis in meat products were determined. In any given time, M. bovis was destroyed at temperatures 6 to 7 degrees C (ca. 12 degrees F) lower than those necessary for destruction of members of the Mycobacterium avium-Mycobacterium intracellulare complex. Hence, any processing heat adequate to kill M. avium-M. intracellulare-complex organisms will provide a very large safety factor with respect to M. bovis. Benzalkonium chloride treatment of wiener specimens for cultural examination effectively destroyed the normal flora of wiener emulsion without reducing the numbers of M. bovis. Treatment with a phenolic disinfectant followed by formaldehyde vapor was effective in disinfecting equipment contaminated with meat emulsion containing M. bovis.
