Sodium or potassium chlorides at concentrations of ca 2.0% (w/v) stimulated the growth of Salmonella enteritidis PT4 and PT6 but not PT8 in nutrient broth acidified to ≤5.5 with acetic but not with citric, propionic or hydrochloric acids. Stimulation was noted also with an acidified defined medium. The most pronounced stimulation occurred with incubation at 37°C. Supplementation of acidified nutrient broth with sucrose or glycerol had no effect on the growth of salmonellas.
