Induction of the viable but non-culturable state in bacterial pathogens by household cleaners and inorganic salts

Induction of the viable but non-culturable state in bacterial pathogens by household cleaners and inorganic salts

Abstract Effective monitoring of microbial pathogens is essential for a successful preventive food safety and hygiene strategy. However, as most monitoring strategies are growth-based, these tests fail to detect pathogenic bacteria that have entered the viable but non-culturable (VBNC) state. The pr...
