====VBNC====
''P. damnosus'' has been found to be able to enter a so-called "viable but nonculturable (VBNC) state" where cells are not culturable by routine means, but are still alive and recoverable when stress conditions are removed. This can lead to problems identifying these microorganisms in potentially spoiled products. See [https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S002364382101776X Zhenbo Xu et .al (2021)] for potential resuscitation strategies for ''P. damnosus''.
