bakteriostöödis
Bakteriostöödis refers to the metabolic state of bacteria in which they cease to grow and reproduce. This dormant state is a survival mechanism that allows bacteria to endure unfavorable environmental conditions such as nutrient scarcity, extreme temperatures, or the presence of toxic substances. While in this state, bacterial cells exhibit significantly reduced metabolic activity, making them more resilient to stresses that would otherwise be lethal.
The transition to bacteriostasis is often triggered by specific environmental cues. For instance, when essential nutrients
This ability to enter and exit a dormant state has important implications in various fields. In medicine,
