Oxidative stress by NaOCl or H2O2 in Escherichia coli O157:H7 was measured with APF or H2DCFDA.
Membrane damage and glucose uptake were measured using PI and 2-NBDG.
20">Oxidative stress probes did not show significant correlation with microbial reduction.
25">PI permeation had significant correlation with microbial reduction when NaOCl was used.
Measurement of 2-NBDG uptake was shown as the best surrogate for plate counting.
