This was to establish the relative importance of their bacterial killing properties in gastric juice. Solutions in the pH range 1.5–7.4 with or without pig pepsin A were used, together with seven gastric juice samples obtained from patients undergoing routine gastric collection. <jats:italic>Escherichia coli</jats:italic> C690 (a capsulate strain), <jats:italic>E. coli</jats:italic> K-12 (a rough mutant) and <jats:italic>Helicobacter pylori</jats:italic> E5 were selected as the test organisms. Suspensions of bacteria (1×10<jats:sup>6</jats:sup> <jats:italic>E. coli</jats:italic> ml<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup> and 1×10<jats:sup>8</jats:sup> <jats:italic>H. pylori</jats:italic> ml<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup>) were pre-incubated with test solutions at 37 °C for up to 2 h, and then cultured to establish the effect on subsequent growth. Survival of bacteria was diminished at pHs of less than 3.5, whereas killing required a pH of less than 2.5. Pre-incubation with pig pepsin at 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mg ml<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup> at pH 3.5 reduced viable counts by 100 % for <jats:italic>E. coli</jats:italic> 690 and <jats:italic>E. coli</jats:italic> K-12 after 100 min incubation. With <jats:italic>H. pylori</jats:italic>, the viable counts decreased to 50 % of the control after 20 min incubation in 1 mg pepsin ml<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup> at pH 2.5, 3.0 and 3.5. The gastric juices showed bactericidal activity at pH 3.5, and the rate of killing was juice dependent, with complete death of <jats:italic>E. coli</jats:italic> 690 occurring between 5 and 40 min post-incubation. Thus, killing of <jats:italic>E. coli</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>H. pylori</jats:italic> occurs optimally at pHs of less than 2.5. At pH 3.5, little effect is observed, whereas addition of pepsin alone or in gastric juice causes a marked increase in bacterial susceptibility, suggesting an important role for proteolysis in the killing of bacteria.</jats:p> Bacterial killing in gastric juice – effect of pH and pepsin on Escherichia coli and Helicobacter pylori Journal of Medical Microbiology
