Growth kinetics response of a Salmonella typhimurium poultry marker strain to fresh produce extracts

Abstract The purpose of this research was to assess growth response of a Salmonella typhimurium poultry marker strain to fresh homogenized vegetables. Salmonella growth rates were significantly higher ( p p Salmonella . This could potentially be explained by the variations of pH, nutrient availability to the bacteria, or unknown components found within fresh produce.
