Abstract excerpt
Cronobacter sakazakii is a significant foodborne pathogen commonly found in dairy processing environments. Under chlorine stress, C. sakazakii may survive by adopting stress-resistant phenotypes such as biofilm and viable but nonculturable (VBNC) state. The formation of these phenotypes is regulated by the stringent response. However, the mechanisms by which the stringent response directs phenotypic fate...
