Remember that freezing does NOT kill all bacteria at the temps of
home or grocery freezers.
This is addressed in some recent expert references given, but can
also be found in food industry studies in PubMed. For example, to
kill salmonella the industry studies had to use -20'C to -80'C or -4'F to
-112'F
Some studies include:
J Food Prot. 2005 Jul;68(7):1457-61.

Growth of Salmonella serovars, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and
Staphylococcus aureus during thawing of whole chicken and retail
ground beef portions at 22 and 30 degrees C.
(which is a thawing study but also addresses freezing)
Cent Eur J Public Health. 2005 Jun;13(2):89-95.

Resistance of Yersinia enterocolitica, Escherichia coli O157:H7
and natural microflora against acidic conditions and freezing-
thawing in fresh sausages.
The following one also looked at some infection bacteria:
