Evaluation of the Stress Tolerance of Salmonella with Different Antibiotic Resistance Profiles

Figure 1

Logarithmic reduction or growth of 10 isolates of S. Typhimurium in the suspensions after exposure to storage temperatures at (a) 4°C, (b) 12°C, (c) 24°C, and (d) 36°C for 96 h; hot water temperatures at (e) 60°C and (f) 75°C for 2 min; NaClO concentrations at (g) 100 mg/L and (h) 200 mg/L for 10 min. DS: drug-sensitive; DR: drug-resistant; MDR: multidrug-resistant. Uppercase letters represent the results of significant difference analysis with different isolates. Where an uppercase letter is not shown, no statistical difference between all the data is analyzed.
