The effect of exposure to acid (pH 2.5), alkaline (pH 11.0), heat (55 degrees C), and oxidative (40 mM H2O2) lethal conditions on the ultrastructure and global chemical composition of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium CECT 443 cells was studied using transmission electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) combined with multivariate statistical methods (hierarchical cluster analysis and factor analysis). Infrared spectra exhibited marked differences in the five spectral regions for all conditions tested compared to those of nontreated control cells, which suggests the existence of a complex bacterial stress response in which modifications in a wide variety of cellular compounds are involved. The visible spectral changes observed in all of the spectral regions, together with ultrastructural changes observed by transmission electron microscopy and data obtained from membrane integrity tests, indicate the existence of membrane damage or alterations in membrane composition after heat, acid, alkaline, and oxidative treatments. Results obtained in this study indicate the potential of FT-IR spectroscopy to discriminate between intact and injured bacterial cells and between treatment technologies, and they show the adequacy of this technique to study the molecular aspects of bacterial stress response.
