Assessment of pathogenic potential in non-pathogenic bacterial species for industrial production of live bacteria

Abstract excerpt

Assessment of the pathogenic potential (virulence and toxicity) in non-pathogenic bacterial species is a challenge as it relies on methods developed for assessment of species known to be pathogenic. Here we have applied and evaluated some of these methods on industrially relevant bacteria to differentiate between “true” virulence factors applying only to pathogens and niche factors being defined as promoting colon...
