18.1. 1 Extracellular Vesicles The direct contact between two or more cells and the
interaction between the ligand and the receptor have been considered, for a long time, the …

Rapid detection of microbial cells is a challenge in microbiology, particularly when complex
indigenous communities or subpopulations varying in viability, activity and physiological …

Drinking water was treated with ozone, chlorine, chlorine dioxide, monochloramine, ferrate
(VI), and permanganate to investigate the kinetics of membrane damage of native drinking …

Flow cytometry (FC) and FC-based cell sorting have been established as critical tools in
modern cell and developmental biology. Yet, their applications in bacteria, especially in the …

One source of foodborne listeriosis is related to a virulent strain established in the food-
processing environment. We used direct epifluorescence microscopy (DEM) to evaluate the …

Background: The persistence and pathogenicity of pathogenic bacteria are dependent on
the ability of the species to survive in adverse conditions. During the infectious process, the …

Vibrio parahaemolyticus has been consistently found to be involved in the food-borne
disease outbreaks every year. Particularly, V. parahaemolyticus can be induced into a viable …

Pathogenic bacteria can enter into a viable but non‐culturable (VBNC) state under
unfavourable conditions. Proteus mirabilis is responsible for dire clinical consequences …

Diatoms generate nearly half of marine primary production and are comprised of a diverse
array of species that are often morphologically cryptic or difficult to identify using light …

The increased consumption of fresh produce in the last decades has led to an escalation in
the number of associated foodborne outbreaks. Various stressful conditions along the fresh …
