Persisters refer to genetically drug susceptible quiescent (non-growing or slow growing)
bacteria that survive in stress environments such as antibiotic exposure, acidic and …

Both, antibiotic persistence and antibiotic resistance characterize phenotypes of survival in
which a bacterial cell becomes insensitive to one (or even) more antibiotic (s). However, the …

Bacteria are often thought of as having two dormant phenotypes: the viable but non‐
culturable (VBNC) state and the persister state. Here we investigate the relatedness of the …

Stress is ubiquitous for bacteria and can convert a subpopulation of cells into a dormant
state known as persistence, in which cells are tolerant to antimicrobials. These cells revive …

Procaryotes starve and face myriad stresses. The bulk population actively resists the stress,
but a small population weathers the stress by entering a resting stage known as persistence …

Persistence, the stress-tolerant state, is arguably the most vital phenotype since nearly all
cells experience nutrient stress, which causes a sub-population to become dormant …

Background Persisters and viable but non-culturable (VBNC) cells are two phenotypic
variants known to be highly tolerant to antibiotics. Although both cell types are stained as …

Since most bacterial cells are starving, they must enter a resting stage. Persister is the term
used for metabolically-dormant cells that are not spores, and these cells arise from stress …

Bacterial memory refers to the phenomenon in which past experiences influence current
behaviors in response to changing environments. It serves as a crucial process that enables …

Background: Bacterial persistence to antibiotics relates to the phenotypic ability to survive
lethal concentrations of otherwise bactericidal antibiotics. The quantitative nature of the time …
