Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Acid resistance could be an indicator of virulence since acid resistant strains are able to better survive the human stomach passage and in macrophages. We studied the acid resistance of several Salmonella Typhimurium DT104 strains isolated from food and humans and identified cellular parameters contributing to the enhanced acid resistance of these isolates. METHODS AND RESULTS: Acid resistance was tested...
