Characterization of multi-drug tolerant persister cells in Streptococcus suis.

BMC microbiology - 12 May 2014

Willenborg Jörg, Willms Daniela, Bertram Ralph, Goethe Ralph, Valentin-Weigand Peter

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Persister cells constitute a subpopulation of dormant cells within a microbial population which are genetically identical but phenotypically different to regular cells. Notably, persister cells show an elevated tolerance to antimicrobial agents. Thus, they are considered to represent a microbial 'bet-hedging' strategy and are of particular importance in pathogenic bacteria. RESULTS: We studied the...
