The influence of sodium chloride and pH on the growth of Salmonella enteritidis PT4.
Sodium or potassium chlorides at concentrations of ca 2.0% (w/v) stimulated the growth of Salmonella enteritidis PT4 and PT6 but not PT8 in nutrient broth acidified to < or = 5.5 with acetic but not with citric, propionic or hydrochloric acids. Stimulation was noted also with an acidified defined medium. The most pronounced stimulation occurred with incubation at 37 degrees C. Supplementation of acidified nutrient broth with sucrose or glycerol had no effect on the growth of salmonellas.
