Abstrakt

The susceptibility of Salmonella spp. to 15 fatty acids was determined in vitro in cultures grown on glucose. Antimicrobial activity was expressed as IC50 (a concentration at which only 50% of the initial glucose in cultures was utilized). Caprylic acidwas the only acid inhibiting glucose utilization. In cultures of S. enteritidis, S. infantis and S. typhimurium, IC50 of caprylic acid ranged from 0.75 to 1.17 mg/mL. A moderate adaptation effect was observed as these values increased 1.5-1.8 times whenbacteria were subcultured 10 times in media containing a low concentration of caprylic acid (1/3 IC50). No effect of calcium ions added in excess on antimicrobial activity of caprylic acid was observed. Incubation of salmonellas with caprylic acid (1 mg/mL; 30 min) at pH 5.2-5.3 led to a reduction in the concentration of viable cells below the detection limit; 2-6% of Salmonella cells survived at Ph 6.3-6.6.
