The increase in antibiotic non-responsive bacteria is the leading concern in current research
oriented to eliminate pathogens. Nowadays, the excess use of antibiotics without specifically …

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 …

Bacterial persistence is a state of metabolic dormancy among a small fraction (< 1%) of a
genetically identical population of cells that, as a result, becomes transiently resistant to …

Persistence is the non-heritable state of dormancy of a small subset of cells that allows these
cells to survive a wide range of stresses. These stresses include antibiotics at concentrations …

Persisters are nongrowing, transiently antibiotic-tolerant bacteria within a clonal population
of otherwise susceptible cells. Their formation is triggered by environmental cues and …

Persistence has evolved as a potent survival strategy to overcome adverse environmental
conditions. This capability is common to almost all bacteria, including all human bacterial …

All bacteria form persisters, cells that are multidrug tolerant and therefore able to survive
antibiotic treatment. Due to the low frequencies of persisters in growing bacterial cultures …

Bacteria have at their disposal a battery of strategies to withstand antibiotic stress. Among
these, resistance is a well-known mechanism, yet bacteria can also survive antibiotic attack …

The current antibiotic resistance crisis has led to increased pressure to prioritize strategies to
tackle the issue, with a strong focus being placed on the development of novel …

Persistence is a phenomenon during which a small fraction of a total bacterial population
survives treatment with high concentrations of antibiotics for an extended period of time. In …
