  • Title: Effect of pH, sodium chloride, and sodium nitrite on enterotoxin A production.
    Author: Tompkin RB, Ambrosino JM, Stozek SK.
    Journal: Appl Microbiol; 1973 Dec; 26(6):833-7. PubMed ID: 4203331.
    Abstract:
    The combined effects of pH, sodium chloride, and sodium nitrite were studied by using a dialysis sac technique in brain heart infusion broth. Growth and enterotoxin A production by Staphylococcus aureus strain 100 were found to decrease with the addition of sodium nitrite, with a decrease in pH from 7.0, and with an increase in sodium chloride concentration. The significance of these results is discussed in relation to cured meats.
