Fighting bacterial persistence: Current and emerging anti-persister strategies and therapeutics
Abstract
In addition to the well-known strategies of antibiotic resistance and biofilm formation, bacterial populations possess an additional survival strategy to endure hostile environments or antibiotic exposure. A small fraction of transiently antibiotic-tolerant phenotypical variants, called persister cells, is capable of surviving treatment with high doses of antibiotics. When antibiotic pressure drops, persisters that switch back to a normal...
