Ferulate and cafeate showed antibacterial activity against Salmonella and Listeria
The antimicrobial effect on bacteria is dose and time dependent
-
The ultraestructure of Salmonella and Listeria was modified when subjected to sublethal concentrations of the antibacterials
-
Elongated forms were detected in both treated bacteria and increase of nanostructures (vacuoles)
-
The increase of Feret diameter and surface area of bacteria support the idea of multicellular aggregates
