“…It was also proposed that the protection of salts may be correlated with the degree of electrostriction of water, for example, salts of lower electrostriction effect, NaCl and KCl, have less bactericidal effects on pressure‐treated S. aureus and E. coli when compared to salts of larger electrostriction effect Na 2 SO 4 and CaCl 2 (Gayán et al., 2013). The bactericidal effect of high pressure was enhanced by nitrite in S. aureus and E. coli ; mechanisms of which may be related to the disability against nitrosamine or oxidative stress but are still unclear which need more studies in the future (De Alba, Bravo, Medina, Park, & Mackey, 2013b; Duranton, Guillou, Simonin, Chéret, & de Lamballerie, 2012; Jofré et al., 2010). Moreover, high‐pressure sublethal E. coli was shown to be sensitive to bile salts in the recovery medium, but the effect was reversible as the resistance of cells can be regained after incubation in trypticase soy agar (Chilton, Isaacs, Manas, & Mackey, 2001).…”
