Role of persister cells in chronic infections: clinical relevance and perspectives on anti-persister therapies

1 Apr 2011

Abstract excerpt

Certain infectious diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria are typically chronic in nature. Potentially deadly examples include tuberculosis, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, cystic fibrosis-associated lung infections, primarily caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and candidiasis, caused by the fungal pathogen Candida albicans. A hallmark of this type of illness is the recalcitrance to treatment with...
