In order to study the bactericidal mechanism of slightly acidic electrolyzed water (SAEW) against Salmonella enteritidis, the effects of SAEW on cell membrane permeability, cell membrane integrity, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and intracellular ATP of Salmonella enteritidis were studied. The results showed that 2.04 lg (CFU/g) of Salmonella enteritidis on the surface of eggshells was inactivated after the SAEW treatment at the available chlorine concentration of 10 mg/L for 1 min. Moreover, relative to the control group, the conductivity of bacterial suspension of Salmonella enteritidis was increased from 13.78±0.13 ms/cm to 16.32±0.10 ms/cm (P
