![عکس صفحه اول مقاله: Habituation to organic acid anions induces resistance to acid and bile in Listeria monocytogenes Habituation to organic acid anions induces resistance to acid and bile in Listeria monocytogenes](/preview/png/5791568.png)
We evaluated the intrinsic and inducible resistance of four human pathogenic strains of Listeria monocytogenes to acid and bile, factors associated with virulence. Cells were grown in media at pH 7.4, or in media at pH 6.0 containing 0 (HCl control) or 4.75 mM of different organic acids, harvested at stationary or mid log phase, and challenged for 1 h in acid or bile. Stationary phase cells were intrinsically more resistant to either challenge than log phase cells, and large differences between strains were evident among the latter. Compared to the HCl control, habituation to log phase with organic acids induced significant (p < 0.05) and meaningful (â¥Â 1 log) increases in acid resistance of three of four strains tested, and in bile resistance of two strains suggesting that exposure to organic acid anions may enhance virulence in L. monocytogenes.
