2024年1月5日 · VBNC WPs should be considered as an emerging contaminant to ensure a higher level of safety of the water environment. Here, this study systematically reviewed the water disinfection methods that could induce WPs into the VBNC state, and clarified the risks of different species of VBNC WPs in the relevant water environment.

2021年3月15日 · In this study, water treatment processes efficiently removed VBNC pathogenic bacteria. Sand filtration, in particular, led to a dramatic decrease in the number of VBNC pathogenic bacteria (Fig. 3).

2024年10月2日 · We show that bacteria starved in mineral water become VBNC by converting into osmotically stable cell wall-deficient coccoid forms, a phenomenon that occurs in other Listeria species. We reveal...

2024年11月1日 · This research studies the influence of chlorine disinfection on the creation of bacterial VBNC status and explores the process and mechanism of repair of VBNC bacteria under the action of biofilm in the water supply network.

This paper briefly summarizes research status water treatment, and analyzes influencing conditions mechanism on formation recovery state. It discusses certain reference for effectively controlling VBNC possible influence of conventional drinking water treatment technology on …

Lack of proper methods of detecting the pathogens in VBNC state increases the risk of human exposure to contaminated water/foods. Hence, for checking the level of microbial contamination, it is very important to use appropriate techniques for the detection of VBNC bacteria and establishing their viability.

Viable but non-culturable (VBNC) pathogens are prevalent in drinking water systems and can resuscitate under favorable conditions, thereby posing significant public health risks. This study investigated the occurrence of VBNC Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in source water, tap water, an …

2023年11月25日 · This study provides quantitative insights into the occurrence of VBNC bacteria in tap water and highlights the need for more sensitive monitoring methods and microbial control techniques to enhance tap water safety in public locations.

近日，我院水处理技术与水质安全团队于鑫教授课题组在环境领域高水平期刊 Journal of Hazardous Materials 上发表了题为“Emerging contaminants in the water environment: Disinfection-induced viable but non-culturable waterborne pathogens”的综述论文。...

2018年9月15日 · Amoebal infection by starved VBNC Legionella, which likely occurs in oligotrophic biofilms, would result in an increase in the bacterial concentration in drinking-water systems. If cells remain in the VBNC state, the real number of active legionellae will be underestimated by the use of culture-based standard techniques.
