Abstract
ABSTRACT
The antimicrobial effect of
l
-lactate was much greater than that of
d
-lactate over a range of concentrations for
Escherichia coli
O157 and non-O157 strains. Despite this, the intracellular pHs and membrane potentials of
l
-lactate- and
d
-lactate-treated cells were similar, suggesting that these factors are not involved in the antimicrobial action of
l
-lactate.
