The Trade-Off Between Sanitizer Resistance and Virulence Genes: Genomic Insights into E. coli Adaptation
Our findings highlight the complexity of bacterial resistance mechanisms and suggest that non-pathogenic strains may exhibit greater tolerance to QAC sanitizer than those carrying pathogenicity genes, particularly Shiga toxin genes.
