This study evaluated the effect of the transcriptional regulator RpoS on bacterial survival, tolerance to simulated gastrointestinal conditions, and the expression of stress resistance genes in wild‐type (WT) andrpoS‐deletion (ΔrpoS)SalmonellaEnteritidis CICC 21482 in low water activity (Aw) foods at 24 hr of drying and 7 days of storage. The ΔrpoSstrain was produced by allelic exchange using a suicide plasmid. Bacteria were inoculated into ginger powder, nonfat milk powder, and chocolate powder in the presence of simulated gastric and intestinal fluids, and survival was measured. Gene expression was measured using real‐time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The ΔrpoSstrain was less resistant to desiccation stress than the WT strain. The bacterial tolerance to gastrointestinal conditions varied depending on food composition, and high‐fat and protein content enhanced the survival ofS.Enteritidis in the gastrointestinal conditions. In addition, under lowAwconditions,rpoSwas weakly correlated with the expression offadAbut strongly correlated with the expression ofgrpE,otsA,otsB,dnaK,proV,rpoH, andsigDEin food substrates. This study elucidates the role ofrpoSin desiccation stress and serves as the basis for preventing and controllingSalmonellacontamination in lowAwfoods.
