Immune Response Modulation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa Persister Cells.
MBio, 2023 Bacterial persister cells—a metabolically dormant subpopulation tolerant to antimicrobials—contribute to chronic infections and are thought to evade host immunity.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 BackgroundBiofilm is an accumulation of cells, which are formed on mucosal surfaces of the host as well as on medical devices. The inherent resistance of Candida strains producing biofilms to antimicrobial agents is an important and key feature for ...

A Transient Metabolic State in Melanoma Persister Cells Mediated by Chemotherapeutic Treatments
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2022 Persistence is a transient state that poses an important health concern in cancer therapy. The mechanisms associated with persister phenotypes are highly diverse and complex, and many aspects of persister cell physiology remain to be explored. We applied

Copper Kills Escherichia coli Persister Cells
Antibiotics, 2020 Due to their reduced metabolism, persister cells can survive most antimicrobial treatments, which usually rely on corrupting active biochemical pathways.

The Role of PaFicT in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Persister Cell Formation [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular and Cellular Medicine, 2021 The opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) is a major concern for immunocompromised and cystic fibrosis patients. Chronic lung infections caused by Pa are generally considered incurable, in part, due to the bacteria’s ability to form ...

Reverting antibiotic tolerance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 persister cells by (Z)-4-bromo-5-(bromomethylene)-3-methylfuran-2(5H)-one. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND: Bacteria are well known to form dormant persister cells that are tolerant to most antibiotics. Such intrinsic tolerance also facilitates the development of multidrug resistance through acquired mechanisms. Thus persister cells are a promising

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020 Persister cells are difficult to eliminate because they are tolerant to antibiotic stress. In the present study, using artificially induced Escherichia coli persister cells, we found that reactive oxygen species (ROS) have greater effects on persister ...

Phenol-Soluble Modulins Modulate Persister Cell Formation in Staphylococcus aureus
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Staphylococcus aureus is a human pathogen that can cause chronic and recurrent infections and is recalcitrant to antibiotic chemotherapy. This trait is partly attributed to its ability to form persister cells, which are subpopulations of cells that are ...
