Ohmic heating (OH) is an alternative thermal processing technique, which is widely used to pasteurize or sterilize food. However, sublethally injured Staphylococcus aureus induced by OH is a great concern to food safety. The recovery of injured S. aureus by OH and virulence factor changes during recovery were investigated in this study. The liquid media (phosphate-buffered saline, buffered peptone water and nutrient broth (NB)), temperature (4, 25 and 37 °C) and pH (6.0, 7.2 and 8.0) influenced the recovery rate and the injured cells completely repaired in NB at 37 °C, pH 7.2 with the shortest time of 2 h. The biofilm formation ability, mannitol fermentation, hemolysis, and coagulase activities decreased in injured S. aureus and recovered during repair process. Quantitative real-time PCR showed the expression of sek, clfB and lukH involved in virulence factors increased during recovery. The results indicated that the virulence factors of injured S. aureus recovered after repair.
