Abstract excerpt
The ability of some bacteria within a population to tolerate antibiotic treatment is often attributed to prolonged bacterial infection 1-3 . Unlike antibiotic resistance, which generally results from genetic mutations or plasmid transfer 4,5 , antibiotic tolerance usually refers to the phenomenon that a subgroup of cells can survive high dose antibiotic treatment as a result of phenotypic heterogeneity 6,7 .
