The viable but nonculturable state of Ralstonia solanacearum may be involved in long-term survival and plant infection
Article Abstract:
Research has been conducted on the pathogenic dormant-like viable but nonculturable condition bacteria. The effect of these bacteria on the plants has been investigated and characterized via the use of the plant-pathogenic bacterium Ralstonia solanacearum, and the results are discussed.

Examination of recovery in vitro and in vivo of nonculturable Escherichia coli O157:H7
Article Abstract:
Research has been conducted on the Escherichia coli O157:H7 strains. The recovery and pathogenicity of these strains stressed experimentally by long-term storage in water and chlorine exposure have been investigated, and the results are discussed.

Concentrations of copper thought to be toxic to Escherichia coli can induce the viable but nonculturable condition
Article Abstract:
Excessive copper concentrations can cause Escherichia coli to enter a viable but nonculturable state. In this state, the bacterium would stop growing, but this would not necessarily mean it was killed. These cells can be resuscitated for up to two weeks, proving that they were in the viable but nonculturable state.
