title: Wine has activity against entero-pathogenic bacteria in vitro but not in vivo.
abstract: We studied the activity of wine against entero-pathogenic bacteria both in vitro and in vivo. The food-borne bacteria were killed in both red and white wine within 30 min. However, the results of a Salmonella infection experiment using mice suggested that wine was not effective in preventing food-borne diseases in vivo.
