The investigation was aimed at to proximate the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 2-nitropropanol (2-NPOH) for growth inhibition (in-vitro) of Salmonella typhimurium, Shigatoxic Escherichia coli (STEC) and Salmonella gallinarum vis a vis effect of pH of culture medium on function of 2-NPOH and its in-vivo effect on these bacteria in chick model. In in-vitro testing, MIC of 2-NPOH for Salmonella typhimurium was recorded to be mM whereas it was mM for STEC and Salmonella gallinarum. | Growth inhibitory effect of 2-nitropropanol on foodborne bacteria of public health importance
