Antibiotic tolerance is associated with the failure of antibiotic treatment and the relapse of
many bacterial infections. However, unlike resistance, which is commonly measured using …

Lag is a temporary period of nonreplication seen in bacteria that are introduced to new
media. Despite latency being described by Müller in 1895, only recently have we gained …

The great therapeutic achievements of antibiotics have been dramatically undercut by the
evolution of bacterial strategies that overcome antibiotic stress,. These strategies fall into two …

The level of quality that food maintains as it travels down the production-to-consumption
path is largely determined by the chemical, biochemical, physical, and microbiological …

Many microorganisms face a fundamental trade-off between reproduction and survival:
Rapid growth boosts population size but makes microorganisms sensitive to external …

The first state-of-the-art review of this dynamic field in a decade, Modeling Microbial
Responses in Foods provides the latest information on techniques in mathematical …

The growth of pathogenic bacteria Escherichia coli O157: H7, Salmonella spp., and Listeria
monocytogenes on iceberg lettuce under constant and fluctuating temperatures was …

The objective of this work was to explore the large number of bacterial growth models
recently proposed in the field of predictive microbiology, concerning their capacity to give …

Conventional bacterial growth studies rely on large bacterial populations without
considering the individual cells. Individual cells, however, can exhibit marked behavioral …

We describe a method that enabled us to observe large numbers of individual bacterial cells
during a long period of cell growth and proliferation. We designed a flow chamber in which …
