Evidence against dormancy in the bacterial fish pathogen Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida.
Results indicate that A. salmonicida does not enter an unculturable dormant state. The resuscitation of dormant cells by nutrient broth described by previous workers appears to be due to the presence of small numbers of viable, culturable cells too few to be detected by the sampling protocol employed.
