R. Reissbrodt et al., Resuscitation by ferrioxamine E of stressed Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium from soil and water microcosms, APPL ENVIR, 66(9), 2000, pp. 4128-4130
Storage of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium strains in soil and wate
r microcosms resulted in loss of culturability on standard plating media. P
rior incubation in buffered peptone mater supplemented with ferrioxamine E
markedly extended the time that bacteria were recoverable by plating, excep
t in the case of mutants deficient in ferrioxamine E uptake.
