Abstract excerpt

Growing and nonculturable cells of Helicobacter pylori and Vibrio vulnificus were studied for the capacity to reduce tetrazolium salts in order to elucidate the possible physiological basis for the proposed "viable but nonculturable" (VNC) state. Initial difficulties in obtaining consistent reduc...
