Abstract excerpt
Phenotypic heterogeneity occurs in a population of genetically identical bacteria due to stochastic molecular fluctuations and environmental variations. In extreme cases of phenotypic heterogeneity, a fraction of the bacterial population enters dormancy, and these metabolically inactive or non-dividing bacteria persist through most antibiotic challenges. These subpopulations of persister cells are difficult to stu...
