Abstract

The Role of Bacterial Persisted Cells in Food Safety and Food Processing Industry

Mahendran Patil*

Bacterial persister cells are an important concern in the food industry due to their role in persistent infections and resistance to antimicrobial treatments. These cells, which can survive otherwise lethal concentrations of antibiotics and harsh environmental conditions, pose significant challenges in food safety, processing, and preservation. Understanding the mechanisms of persister cell formation and developing strategies to mitigate their impact is essential for ensuring the safety and quality of food products.
