Abstract
Fifty isolates ofYersinia enterocolitica from fresh buffalo milk were screened for the production of bacteriocin using isolates as indicators. Seven isolates (14%) were bacteriocin producers at 22°C which had more bacteriolytic activity at 37°C. Only one isolate produced bacteriocin at both temperatures.
