With an increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance in the clinic, we strive to understand more about microbial defensive mechanisms. A nongenetic tolerance to the antibiotic daptomycin was discovered in Enterococcus faecalis that results in the increased survival of bacterial populations after treatment with the drug.
