TLDR
"Bacteria have evolved adaptive networks to face the challenges of changing environments and to survive under conditions of stress, therefore the efficiencies of inactivation and preservation methods need to be assessed, especially with regard to the enormous potential of food pathogens to adapt to a wide variety of stress conditions.

Adaptation of Microorganisms to Cold Temperatures, Weak Acid Preservatives, Low pH, and Osmotic Stress: A Review

TL;DR: The application of physical stress to microorganisms is the most widely used method to induce cell inactivation and promote food stability, and such mechanisms of adaptation may be possible to prevent growth of key microorganisms in food products.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stress, sublethal injury, resuscitation, and virulence of bacterial foodborne pathogens.

TL;DR: The various definitions of injury and stress, sublethal injury of bacteria, stresses that cause this injury, stress adaptation, cellular repair and response mechanisms, the role of reactive oxygen species in bacterial injury and resuscitation, and the potential for cross-protection and enhanced virulence as a result of various stress conditions are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microbial inactivation by new technologies of food preservation.

TL;DR: The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the microbiological aspects of the most relevant nonthermal technologies for microbial inactivation currently under study, including irradiation, high hydrostatic pressure, pulsed electric field and ultrasound under pressure.

The complete genome sequence of the Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis

F. Kunst, +154 more
- 20 Nov 1997 - 
TL;DR: Bacillus subtilis is the best-characterized member of the Gram-positive bacteria, indicating that bacteriophage infection has played an important evolutionary role in horizontal gene transfer, in particular in the propagation of bacterial pathogenesis.
