Abstract excerpt
Chromosomally encoded toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are abundantly present in bacteria and archaea. They have become a hot topic in recent years, because-after many frustrating years of searching for biological functions-some are now known to play roles in persister formation. Persister cells represent a subset of a bacterial population that enters a dormant state and thus becomes refractory to the action of...
