Viable but Non-culturable Bacteria: Clinical Practice and Future Perspective
author
Abstract:
In this editorial, the importance of VBNC in clinical practice and future researches interests has been pinpointed. Accurate detection of VBNC, especially for major mentioned pathogens, is the future research gap.

Viable but non-culturable bacteria: their impact on public health
More than 50 years ago, standard microbiological methods were developed to determine whether bacterial cells were dead or alive. This is an important question because the answer is the basis of decisions such as safety of food and drinking water, sterility of pharmaceuticals, recurrence of infectivity and spoilage of treated industrial products. The viability of a bacterial cell was traditional...
full textCurrent Perspectives on Viable but Non-Culturable (VBNC) Pathogenic Bacteria
Under stress conditions, many species of bacteria enter into starvation mode of metabolism or a physiologically viable but non-culturable (VBNC) state. Several human pathogenic bacteria have been reported to enter into the VBNC state under these conditions. The pathogenic VBNC bacteria cannot be grown using conventional culture media, although they continue to retain their viability and express...
full textDetection of Viable But Non-Culturable State of Escherichia coli O157:H7 Using Reverse Transcription PCR
Background and Aims: Many bacteria including Escherichia coli may enter into a viable but non-culturable (VBNC) state under unfavorable stresses, which are unable to be detected by culture-based methods. In this study, the use of Reverse Transcription PCR (RT-PCR) for detection of VBNC state of E. coli O157:H7 was investigated. Materials and Methods: Escherichia. coli O157:H7 was inoculated i...
full textViable but Non-culturable Bacteria in the Marine Environment and the Biotechnological Tools to Detect Them
When bacteria move from one environment to another, the new environment with which they are confronted may include changes in temperature, nutrient concentration, salinity, osmotic pressure, pH, and other properties. Furthermore, such changes can occur daily within given environments such as estuaries and coastal systems. Bacterial cells adapt dynamically to such shifts in their environment by ...

full textViable but Nonculturable Bacteria: Food Safety and Public Health Perspective
The viable but nonculturable (VBNC) state is a unique survival strategy of many bacteria in the environment in response to adverse environmental conditions. VBNC bacteria cannot be cultured on routine microbiological media, but they remain viable and retain virulence. The VBNC bacteria can be resuscitated when provided with appropriate conditions. A good number of bacteria including many human ...
