Schematic representation summarizing the different stress sources, stress treatments and the techniques employed for the study of their effects on bifidobacteria. Upper panel, stress sources can be classified into two groups, technological or gastrointestinal. Middle panel, relating to the duration of the treatment, a short exposure, cell growth for a given time, or long-time exposure to the stress may lead to a stable (or transient) phenotype of resistance. Lower panel, different strategies used to study stress responses in Bifidobacterium strains
