Listeria monocytogenes nisin resistance increases when first exposed to NaCl and other stresses, such as low pH. In addition to environmental stressors, specific genomic elements can confer nisin resistance, such as the stress survival islet (SSI‐1). As SSI‐1 is variably present among L. monocytogenes strains, we wanted to determine if SSI‐1 was associated with salt‐induced nisin resistance.
