Acid adaptation sensitizes Salmonella typhimurium to hypochlorous acid [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1997 Acid adaptation of Salmonella typhimurium at a pH of 5.0 to 5.8 for one to two cell doublings resulted in marked sensitization of the pathogen to halogen-based sanitizers including chlorine (hypochlorous acid) and iodine. Acid-adapted S. typhimurium was more resistant to an anionic acid sanitizer than was its nonadapted counterpart.
