Diving into bacterial dormancy: emergence of osmotically stable wall-less forms in an aquatic environment
2023-11-16
Abstract excerpt
Bacteria can respond to environmental stresses by entering a dormant state, called viable but non-culturable (VBNC) state, in which they no longer grow in routine culture media. VBNC pathogens pose thus a significant risk for human and animal health as they are not detected by standard growth-based techniques and can “wake up” back into a vegetative and virulent state. Although hundreds of species were reported to...
