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

Population-wide tolerance and persisters enable susceptible bacterial cells to endure
hostile environments, including antimicrobial exposure. The SOS response can play a …

The spread of antibiotic resistance is attracting increased attention to combination-based
treatments. Although drug combinations have been studied extensively for their effects on …

Intracellular bacteria in latent or dormant states tolerate high‐dose antibiotics. Fighting
against these opportunistic bacteria has been a long‐standing challenge. Herein, the design …

The emergence of bacterial resistance due to the evolution of microbes under antibiotic
selection pressure, and their ability to form biofilm, has necessitated the development of …

Bacterial populations are highly adaptive. They can respond to stress and survive in shifting
environments. How the behaviours of individual bacteria vary during stress, however, is …

Staphylococcus aureus is an opportunistic human pathogen, which is a leading cause of
infections worldwide. The challenge in treating S. aureus infection is linked to the …

Internalization of pathogenic bacteria by macrophages results in formation of antibiotic-
tolerant persisters. These cells are maintained in a non-growing state for extended periods …

In the competition between the pathogen infection and the host defense, infectious
microorganisms may enter the host cells by evading host defense mechanisms and use the …

The journey of ceramics in medicine has been synchronized with an evolution from the first
generation—alumina, zirconia, etc.—to the third—3D scaffolds. There is an up‐and‐coming …
