Bacterial Spore (Endospore) Research

Bacterial spores are more resistant to antibiotics and nutritional deficiencies than their vegetative cells and sometimes cause serious problems from the viewpoint of hygiene in clinical treatment and food processing.1) Spore persistence also plays a major role in the recurrence of infections after antibiotic treatment.
Molecules that stimulate germination are termed "germinants" and have been evaluated the efficacy of germinant administration combined with antibiotics.2,3) Cogerminants are compounds that do not have germination-stimulating activity in themselves but stimulate germination when combined with other compounds.
