Minas fresh cheese (MFC), a Brazilian white cheese, is one of the most popular cheeses nationwide. Studies have shown that Listeria monocytogenes occurrence in this product is generally low, while high populations of coliforms can be found. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of coliforms in the behavior of L. monocytogenes in MFC.
