(A) Survival of B. pseudomallei NCTC 13177 at increasing ranges of sea-salt concentrations over a 28-day period. (B) Live/dead bacterial cell viability results showing predominantly viable B. pseudomallei cells at time = 0 in 40% sea salts. (C) Bacterial cells after exposure to sea salt for a 28-day incubation period showing mainly non-viable bacteria. Note the presence of apparently viable bacterial cells despite an absence of culturable bacteria.
