Abstract excerpt
This study assessed the resistance of ten verocytotoxigenic Escherichia coli (VTEC) isolates of commonly encountered serogroups/-types and two non-pathogenic E. coli strains to various food-related stresses (acid, alkaline, heat and high hydrostatic pressure treatments) and their biofilm formation ability. In addition, the global changes in the cellular composition in response to the exposure to these adverse...
