DETECTION OF VIABLE BUT NONCULTURABLE E. COLI INDUCED BY LOW-LEVEL ANTIMICROBIALS USING AI-ENABLED HYPERSPECTRAL MICROSCOPY

Detection of Viable but Nonculturable E. coli Induced by Low-Level Antimicrobials Using AI-Enabled Hyperspectral Microscopy

Rapid detection of bacterial pathogens is essential for food safety and public health, yet bacteria can evade detection by entering a viable but nonculturable (VBNC) state under sublethal stress, such as antimicrobial residues.These bacteria remain active but undetectable by standard culture-based methods without extensive enrichment, necessitating
