Treatment of Escherichia coli O157:H7 inoculated alfalfa seeds and sprouts with electrolyzed oxidizing water

Involvement of reactive oxygen species in the cytotoxic effect of acid-electrolyzed water

“…AEW is commonly used in the agricultural and medical fields as a disinfectant for farm and food hygiene (Fabrizio and Cutter, 2004;Northcutt et al, 2007;Guentzel et al, 2008;Cao et al, 2009;Park et al, 2009;Lu et al, 2010;Rahman et al, 2010Rahman et al, , 2011. It is also widely used for the disinfection of medical instruments such as dialyzers (Tanaka et al, 2000), endoscopes (Lee et al, 2004), and dentures (Nagamatsu et al, 2001) because of its potent antimicrobial potential (Kiura et al, 2002;Sharma and Demirci, 2003;Nisola et al, 2011;Rodriguez-Garcia et al, 2011;Feliciano et al, 2012). AEW has potent oxidative power in relation to its antimicrobial potential.…”
