Fast Sterility Assessment by Germinable-Endospore Biodosimetry [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2008 ABSTRACT The increased demand for sterile products has created the need for rapid technologies capable of validating the hygiene of industrial production processes. Bacillus endospores are in standard use as biological indicators for evaluating the effectiveness of sterilization processes.

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 125, Issue 2, Page 108-122, February 2026.Under iron‐limited conditions, FsrA base‐pairs with the intergenic region between epeX and epeE, enhancing epeE translation and triggering EPE production. Toxin‐mediated cell lysis releases nutrients, including iron, which can be taken up by surviving cells.

Plasma Processes and Polymers, Volume 23, Issue 1, January 2026.This study found that cold plasma can effectively inactivate resistant bacterial spores, especially in high humidity conditions. By adjusting humidity, distance, and exposure time, the treatment became much more effective without using more energy or heat.

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Over the years, numerous D‐ and z‐values have been published in the scientific literature. While these values initially appear to be valid criteria for assessing and comparing the heat resistance of different microorganisms under the same conditions or the same microorganism under different conditions, this is not always the case.
