الوصف: Inoculation studies are important when assessing microbial survival and growth in food products. These studies typically involve the pregrowth of multiple strains of a target pathogen under a single condition; this emphasizes strain diversity. To gain a better understanding of the impacts of strain diversity (“nature”) and pregrowth conditions (“nurture”) on subsequent bacterial growth in foods, we assessed the growth and survival of Salmonella enterica (n = 5), Escherichia coli (n = 6), and Listeria (n = 5) inoculated onto tomatoes, precut lettuce, and cantaloupe rind, respectively. Pregrowth conditions included (i) 37°C to stationary phase (baseline), (ii) low pH, (iii) high salt, (iv) reduced water activity, (v) log phase, (vi) minimal medium, and (vii) 21°C. Inoculated tomatoes were incubated at 21°C; lettuce and cantaloupe were incubated at 7°C. Bacterial counts were assessed over three phases, including initial reduction (phase 1), change in bacterial numbers over the first 24 h of incubation (phase 2), and change over the 7-day incubation (phase 3). E. coli showed overall decline in counts (
