The ability to maintain intra‑cellular pH is crucial for many microbes mainly the enterobacteria to survive in diverse environments, particularly those that undergo fluctuations in pH. In this context, the growth and survival of Shigella flexneri at different acid pH values were evaluated to explain the response strategies involved in the adaptation of S. flexneri CECT4804 in acid stress conditions.

While much is understood about the interactions between Salmonella and vertebrates, much less is known about its relationships with invertebrates, which could be an overlooked and important aspect to better understand the Salmonella interaction with its diversified hosts. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of preadaptation in seawater microcosms during 12 months on Salmonella Typhimurium by determining its survival capacity within this mollusk over a period of 30 days.
