The ability of L. monocytogenes to enter into an viable but non-culturable (VBNC) state (free)

Key takeaways: Analytical methods for detection and quantification of dormant bacteria Risk, occurrence and induction of dormancy in food production environments Is there a causal connection between the presence of monocytogenes in the VBNC state and the food production environment? How dangerous is monocytogenes in the VBNC state? Inactivation/Disinfection of dormant bacteria Current strategies for determining antimicrobial resistance of VBNC bacteria Which measures are effective against monocytogenes in the VBNC state?
