The purpose of this study was to determine the survival of E. coli O157:H7 strains isolated from five sources (foods, bovine carcasses, bovine feces, water, and human) in 400 mM acetic acid solutions under conditions that are typical of acidified foods. The isolates from bovine carcasses, feces, and water survived acetic acid treatment at pH 3.3 and 30 degrees C significantly (P < or = 0.05) better than did any food or human isolates. However, resistance to acetic acid significantly increased as temperature decreased to 15 degrees C for a given pH, with little (P > or = 0.05) difference among the different isolation sources. All groups of E. coli O157:H7 strains showed more than 1.8- to 4.5-log reduction at pH 3.3 and 30 degrees C after 25 min. Significantly reduced (less than 1-log reduction) lethality for all E. coli O157:H7 strain mixtures was observed when pH increased to 3.7 or 4.3, with little difference in acetic acid resistance among the groups. The addition of glutamate to the acetic acid solution or anaerobic incubation provided the best protection compared with the above conditions for all groups of isolates. These results suggest that temperature, pH, and atmospheric conditions are key factors in establishing strategies for improving the safety of acidified foods.}, number={3}, journal={JOURNAL OF FOOD PROTECTION}, author={Oh, Deog-Hwan and Pan, Youwen and Berry, Elaine and Cooley, Michael and Mandrell, Robert and Breidt, Frederick, Jr.}, year={2009}, month={Mar}, pages={503–509} }
