Isolation of histamine-producing Lactobacillus buchneri from Swiss cheese implicated in a food poisoning outbreak

S S Sumner et al. Appl Environ Microbiol. 1985 Oct.

Abstract

A histamine-producing strain of Lactobacillus buchneri was isolated from Swiss cheese that had been implicated in an outbreak of histamine poisoning. It produced up to 4,070 nmol of histamine per ml in MRS broth supplemented with 0.1% histidine. The identification of this isolate was based on its biochemical, bacteriological, and DNA characterizations.
