Özet

© 2022, King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology.Microorganisms are exposed to a wide variety of stress factors in their natural environments. Under that stressful conditions, they move into a viable but nonculturable (VBNC) state to survive and maintain the vitality. At VBNC state, microorganisms cannot be detected by traditional laboratory methods, but they can be revived under appropriate conditions. Therefore, VBNC organisms cause serious food safety and public health problems. To date, it has been determined that more than 100 microorganism species have entered the VBNC state through many chemical and physical factors. During the last four decades, dating from the initial detection of the VBNC condition, new approaches have been developed for the induction, detection, molecular mechanisms, and resuscitation of VBNC cells. This review evaluates the current data of recent years on the inducing conditions and detection methods of the VBNC state, including with microorganisms on the VBNC state, their virulence, pathogenicity, and molecular mechanisms.
