Abstract

Acidic environments constitute one of the most important stresses for enteric bacteria and can be encountered in both natural (e.g., host gastrointestinal tract) and manmade (e.g., food processing) environments. The enteric species Escherichia coli harbors many pathovars and is well known for its ability to cope with acid stress.
