A stress-inducible quorum-sensing peptide mediates the formation of persister cells with noninherited multidrug tolerance.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 May 2012

Leung Vincent, Lévesque Céline M

Abstract excerpt

Within a given microbial population, a small subpopulation known as dormant persister cells exists. This persistence property ensures the survival of the population as a whole in the presence of lethal factors. Although persisters are highly important in antibiotic therapy, the mechanism for persistence is still not thoroughly understood. We show here that the cariogenic organism Streptococcus mutans forms...
