In this study the use of UV-C light to inactivate a multi-isolate cocktail of Y. pestis on agar plates, food contact surfaces, and foods using a commercial UV-C conveyor was investigated. Rose and O'Connell (2009) found that a UV-C dose of 4 mJ/cm2 inacti- vated 4.9 and 4.4 log of Y. pestis A112 and Harbin suspended in sterile distilled water, respectively, indicating a D10 of ca. 0.5e1.0 mJ/cm2 Paoli and Sommers (2014) obtained D10 of 0.69e1.02 mJ/cm2 for Y. pestis KIM5 or Yokohama,
