Summary

A MAJORITY OF THE ISOLATES GREW AT 277-278 K (4-5 DEG C) AND 315 K (42 DEG C), AND ALL GREW EQUALLY WELL OVER THE RANGE 293-308 K (20-35 DEG C). AT 301 K (28 DEG C), MOST ISOLATES COULD TOLERATE 4% SODIUM CHLORIDE, WHILE AT 277 K ONLY A LIMITED NUMBER GREW IN 3% SODIUM CHLORIDE. SIMILARLY, ISOLATES COULD BETTER TOLERATE ACIDIC CONDITIONS WHEN CULTURED AT 301 K AS COMPARED TO 277 K. THESE DATA SUGGEST THAT IT IS LIKELY THAT A. HYDROPHILA STRAINS ASSOCIATED WITH HUMAN GASTROENTERITIS ARE CAPABLE OF GROWING IN FOODS AT REFRIGERATION TEMPERATURES.
