[Study of the microbial multiplication in the muscle just after slaughter (author's transl)].

The bactericidal or bacteriostatic activity of the serum, the muscle and the rabbit meat juice was followed after slaughter on animals vaccinated or not against E. coli, P. putida, Cl. perfringens. Rabbit serum is bactericidal against gram negative bacteria, P. putida and E. coli. On the contrary it is without effect on Cl. perfringens. Muscle has no inhibitory effect against E. coli and Cl. perfringens on animals vaccinated or not. P. putida is inhibited or partially eliminated from rabbit muscle just after slaughter. Vaccination does not increase the bacteriostatic or bactericidal activities of the sera, the meat juices and intact muscles.
