Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Tolerance (including persistence) and resistance result in increased survival under antibiotic pressure. OBJECTIVES: We evaluated the interplay between resistance and tolerance to ciprofloxacin under therapeutic and killing conditions to determine the contribution of low-level quinolone resistance (LLQR) mechanisms to tolerance. We also determined how the interaction between resistance (LLQR...
