Resistenzbestimmung nicht-kultivierbarer Bakterien

Abstract To cope with environmental stress, bacteria can enter resistant dormancy states such as the viable but non-culturable (VBNC) state, in which cells do not divide remain alive potential to resuscitate. Present both food and clinical environments, VBNC are a serious health risk challenge for conventional analytical methods. By detecting growth-independent viability parameters, it is possible investigate resistance of identify effective antimicrobials.
