What are the microbial inhibitors in egg whites and how do they work?

The albumen is beneath the shell membranes and is important in providing three antimicrobial defenses to the egg. The first defense is the viscosity of the albumen components, which provide conditions in which bacteria cannot move easily.

This is a pH range that is not conducive to the growth of most microorganisms.
