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.Entities:
