Quantification of within-patient <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> phenotypic heterogeneity as a proxy for presence of persisters across clinical presentations

2021-07-27

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Difficult-to-treat infections caused by antibiotic susceptible strains have been linked with the occurrence of persisters. Persisters are a subpopulation of dormant bacteria that tolerate antibiotic exposure despite lacking genetic resistance. They can be identified phenotypically upon plating on nutrient agar because of their altered growth dynamics, resulting in colony size...
