We're currently using three different strains of listeria in each milk sample, because that's one of the more problematic microbes for dairy products. I also want to mention Kabby Akers, one of the senior research technicians, because she's been making all of our cultures, and she'll also be plating each of our inoculated samples once we start using the antimicrobials so we can see if there is any inhibition.
Also, the reason this post is titled "Sheer Terror" is because today when we were running cold water through one of the mixers, the jacket exploded and I was soaked with water (which I guess was better than steam). It was definitely one of the scariest moments of my life.
