The potential to proliferate under acidic conditions is crucial for bacteria. Escherichia coli, Salmonella, and other such enteric bacteria have the ability to colonize and cause disease in the intestinal tract of the host. Yet, they must fight against acidic environments in the entire process of host invasion.
