RESUMO
The antimicrobial effect of l-lactate was much greater than that of d-lactate over a range of concentrations for Escherichia coli O157 and non-O157 strains. Despite this, the intracellular pHs and membrane potentials of l-lactate- and d-lactate-treated cells were similar, suggesting that these factors are not involved in the antimicrobial action of l-lactate.
