Viable but nonculturable state in the zoonotic pathogen <i>Bartonella henselae</i> induced by low-grade fever temperature and antibiotic treatment.
Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology 20241121
The zoonotic pathogen <i>Bartonella henselae</i> is responsible for diverse human diseases, from mild to life-threatening, but it often eludes detection in culture-based assays. This study investigates the potential of <i>B. henselae</i> to enter a viable but nonculturable (VBNC) state when exposed to human fever temperature or antibiotics, with this state confirmed by successful resuscitation. Viability was assessed using SYBR Green I/PI staining and propidium monoazide-quantitative polymerase ...[more]
