RpoS-independent evolution reveals the importance of attenuated cAMP/CRP regulation in high hydrostatic pressure resistance acquisition in E. coli
Abstract High hydrostatic pressure (HHP) processing is an attractive non-thermal alternative to food pasteurization. Nevertheless, the large inter- and intra-species variations in HHP resistance among foodborne pathogens and the ease by which they can acquire extreme resistance are an issue of incre...

Abstract High hydrostatic pressure (HHP) processing is an attractive non-thermal alternative to food pasteurization.
