Hams were inoculated with Pediococcus cerevisiae cells to determine effects of a lactic acid starter culture on resident microflora of hams. Butt microflora of control hams was predominated by lactobacilli, whereas coagulase negative staphylococci were most prevalent in the cushion. Inoculated hams were predominated by P. cerevisiae in both butt and cushion areas. Other bacteria isolated included fecal streptococci, Enterobacteriaceae , micrococci, bacilli, and yeasts. The natural flora of country‐style ham appeared to be antagonized by P. cerevisiue , while a staphylococcal isolate and fecal streptococci were most antagonistic to the natural flora on agar media.
