Formation of Sublethally Injured Yersinia enterocolitica, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and Salmonella enterica Serovar Enteritidis Cells after Neutral Electrolyzed Oxidizing Water Treatments.

ABSTRACT: The impact of neutral electrolyzed oxidizing (NEO) water treatments on the formation of sublethally injured Yersinia enterocolitica, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis cells was evaluated. When pathogens were treated with 6% NEO water, approximately 38% of the treated Yersinia population and 25% of the treated Salmonella population became sublethally injured. The highest sublethally injured population was found when Salmonella cultures were treated with 3% NEO water. Regardless of the NEO water concentration used, no sublethally injured E. coli O157:H7 cells were found. To evaluate the sensitivity of NEO water-treated cells, four additional stresses (heat treatment, pH, NaCl, and bile salt) were tested. NEO water treatments did not generate any cross prot
