The Viability of Brucella Abortus in Milk and in Cream during Heat Treatment in Electrically Operated Home Pasteurizers

Summary The data show that when milk or cream is inoculated with approximately 100,000 Brucella abortus organisms per ml. and treated in two different electrically operated milk pasteurizers for home use, according to the directions of the manufacturers, all Brucella organisms are killed within 5 to 10 minutes after the thermo-regulator begins to control the pre-set operating temperatures.
