Multivariate analysis of adaptive response to ferulic acid and p ‐coumaric acid after physiological stresses in Cronobacter sakazakii

The results obtained in this study helps in understanding the effect of environmental stresses during processing on susceptibility of C. sakazakii to natural antimicrobial agents. Future transcriptomic studies and functional genetic studies are warranted to understand the strain specific stress responses for the development of better control methods possibly by using these natural antagonists.
