A Fast and Easy ATP-Based Approach Enables MIC Testing for Non-resuscitating VBNC Pathogens

Many bacteria enter the viable but non-culturable (VBNC) state to maximize resources and increase their tolerance to harmful conditions to cope with environmental stress, which has been described for a plethora of important human and foodborne pathogens. VBNC pathogens can potentially present a seri...
