Assessing persister awakening dynamics following antibiotic treatment in E. coli.

Abstract excerpt

Given the low fraction of antibiotic-tolerant persisters and the transient nature of the persister phenotype, identifying molecular mechanisms underlying persister state exit, also called "awakening," is challenging. Here, we describe how persister awakening kinetics can be quantified at the single-cell level, enabling the identification of genes that are important for persister survival following antibiotic...
