This study was carried out to measure the antibacterial effect of lactoperoxidase/ thiocyanate/hydrogen peroxide system (LP system) against E. coli 0157:H7. When the initial inoculum levels (($10^{2},\;10^{4},\;10^{7}cfu/ml$), concentration of LP (10 ppm, 20 ppm, 30 ppm), culture media (TSB-YE, UHT milk, raw milk) and storage temperatures ($5^{\circ}C,\;10^{\circ}C,$15$^{\circ}C$) were set up differently for the experiment and the antibacterial effect was compared, the highest antibacterial effect of LP system was shown at $10^{2}cfu/ml$ of initial inoculum level, 10 ppm of LP concentration and $5^{\circ}C$ of incubation temperature.
