The objective of this study was to determine what effect temperature and pH have on the ability of C. fetus ssp. jejuni to grow and survive. None of 3 strains of C. fetus ssp. jejuni could grow at 30.degree. C and below or at 47.degree. C and above. The optimum temperature for growth was in the range of 42.degree.-45.degree.C. Only 1 of 3 strains, FRI-CF8, could grow at pH 4.9 and none could grow at pH 4.7. The optimum pH for growth was in the range of 6.5-7.5; all strains grew well at pH 5.5-8.0. Rate of cell death at pH 3.0-4.5 was temperature-dependent. At comparable pH, cells of C. fetus ssp. jejuni died most rapidly at 42.degree. C, less rapidly at 25.degree. C and at the slowest rate at 4.degree. C. For example, at pH 4.5, a 3 log10 decrease of cells occurred within 8 h when incubated at 42.degree. C but took 4 days when incubated at 4.degree. C. At 25.degree. C and pH 4.5, cells were inactivated at an intermediate rate. Rates. of thermal inactivation of 5 strains of C. fetus ssp. jejuni were determined at 48.degree., 50.degree., 53.degree. and 55.degree. C in a skim milk heating menstruum. At 48.degree. C, D-values ranged from 7.2-12.8 min while at 55.degree. C they ranged from 0.74-1.00 min. The times and temperatures used to pasteurize milk should be sufficient to free milk of even unusually large numbers of viable cells of C. fetus ssp. jejuni.
