The power of dying slowly - persistence as unintentional dormancy

2021-01-20

Abstract excerpt

Persistence is a state of bacterial dormancy where cells with low metabolic activity and growth rates are phenotypically tolerant to antibiotics and other cytotoxic substances. Given its obvious advantage to bacteria, several researchers have been looking for the genetic mechanism behind persistence. However, other authors argue that there is no such mechanism and that persistence results from inadvertent cell err...
