The incidence of conform bacteria (CB). thermotolerant conforms (TC). Escherichia colt. and Salmonella was determined for zucchini squash fruit. In addition, the behavior of four serotypes of Salmonella and a cocktail of three E colt strains on whole and sliced zucchini squash at 25 +/- 2 degrees C and 3 to 5 degrees C was tested Squash fruit was collected in the markets of Pachuca city, Hidalgo State, Mexico CB, TC, E colt. and Salmonella were detected in 100. 70, 62, and 10% of the produce, respectively. The concentration ranged from 3.8 to 7 4 log CFU per sample for CB. and <3 to 1,100 most probable number per sample for TC and E colt On whole fruit stored at 25 +/- 2 degrees C or 3 to 5 degrees C, no growth was observed for any of the tested microorganisms or cocktails thereof After 15 days at 25 +/- 2 degrees C, the tested Salmonella serotypes had decreased from an initial inoculum level of 7 log CFU to < 1 log, and at 3 to 5 degrees C they decreased to approximately 2 log. Survival of E colt was significantly greater than for the Salmonella strains at the same times and temperatures. after 15 days, at 25 +/- 2 degrees C E colt cocktail strains had decreased to 3.4 log CFU per fruit and at 3 to 5 degrees C they decreased to 3 6 log CFU per fruit Both the Salmonella serotypes and E coli strains grew when inoculated onto sliced squash after 24 h at 25 +/- 2 degrees C, both bacteria had grown to approximately 6.5 log CFU per slice. At 3 to 5 degrees C, the bacterial growth was inhibited The squash may be an important factor contributing to the endemicity of Salmonella in Mexico
