The means of observed survival of
MRSA on sliced bacon cooked at a temperature of 177uC
(350uF) are listed in Table 3. There was not a significant
difference (P . 0.05) between brands or for the brand-withintreatment
effect (cook time) in the model. Day of replication
also did not impact the fixed main treatment effect of time of
cooking (0, 2, or 5 min at 177uC)
