Partial permeabilisation and depolarization of Salmonella enterica Typhimurium cells after treatment with pulsed electric fields and high pressure carbon dioxide

- PEF as HPCD pre-treatment enhances the inactivation of S. enterica in liquid medium.
- FCM investigates the functional status of bacterial cells after PEF and HPCD.
- The synergistic effect in the inactivation is due to PEF electroporation effect.
