The Pharmacology of Bacterial Persistence: From Antibiotic Tolerance to Antimicrobial Resistance

2026-07-02

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> / Objectives: Persistent infections are characterized by recurrent treatment failure and relapse despite apparent antibiotic susceptibility by standard testing, a clinical reality not fully explained by conventional resistance paradigms. Bacterial persister cells, genetically susceptible but phenotypically tolerant subpopulations, survive otherwise lethal antibiotic exposure through reversibl...
