Abstract excerpt
Microbial populations often contain persister cells, which reduce the extinction risk upon sudden stresses. Persister cell formation is deeply intertwined with physiology. Due to this complexity, it cannot be satisfactorily understood by focusing only on mechanistic, physiological or evolutionary aspects. In this review, we take an integrative biology perspective to identify common principles of persister cell...
