An integrative multi-omics approach points to membrane composition as a key factor in E. coli persistence.

Abstract excerpt

Many diverse bacteria can enter non- or slow-growing states where they are transiently tolerant to antibiotics. Despite its medical importance, the genetic mechanisms underlying this 'persistence' remain largely unknown, especially for spontaneous (type II) persistence that arises during exponential growth. To address this challenge, here we combine genomic, transcriptomic, and lipidomic analysis to explore the...
