Abstract
Sodium or potassium chlorides at concentrations of ca 2.0% (w/v) stimu lated the growth of Salmonella enteritidis PT4 and PT6 but not PT8 in nutrient broth acidified to less than or equal to 5.5 with acetic but not with citric, propionic or hydrochloric acids. Stimulation was note d also with an acidified defined medium. The most pronounced stimulati on occurred with incubation at 37 degrees C. Supplementation of acidif ied nutrient broth with sucrose or glycerol had no effect on the growt h of salmonellas.
