Summary

The survival of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and non-O157:H7 due to an enhanced acid tolerance response, an enhanced acid shock response, or the stationary phase protective system when exposed to lactic acid and the resulting cross protection against increased concentrations of sodium chloride and sodium lactate was studied. Experiments are described and results given.
