Abstract
Addition of catalase (150 units/ml) to a rich infusion agar used for solid medium repair of acid injured pathogenic Enterobacteriaceae increased the recovery of such populations by 1–2 log cycles entailing an equal size reduction in the true lethality of this mode of processing for safety.
