Killing occurred upon wake-up of persister cells.
(A) Representative fluorescence images of control and minocycline treated E. coli HM22 normal and persister cells after LIVE/DEAD staining (scale bar = 10 μm). Fluorescence signals were used to compare the viability of normal (B) and persister (C) cells.

Nigericin is effective against multidrug resistant gram-positive bacteria, persisters, and biofilms
Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria pose a significant clinical threat to human health, but the development of antibiotics cannot meet the urgent need for effective agents, especially those that can kill persisters and biofilms.

Plasmodium malariae: the persisting mysteries of a persistent parasite
Plasmodium malariae is a 'neglected malaria parasite' in as much as the amount of research conducted on it pales into insignificance when compared to that pertaining to Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax, its more notorious and pathogenic cousins.

Persisters are dormant variants of regular cells that form stochastically in microbial populations and are highly tolerant to antibiotics. High persister (hip) mutants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa are selected in patients with cystic fibrosis.

In vitro activities of licochalcone A against planktonic cells and biofilm of Enterococcus faecalis
This study aims to evaluate the in vitro antibacterial and anti-biofilm activities of licochalcone A on Enterococcus faecalis and to investigate the possible target genes of licochalcone A in E. faecalis.

Exploring Cancer Persister Cell Vulnerabilities [PDF]
One major problem plaguing the medical community is patient relapse of cancer following targeted drug therapy. In a majority of patients with non-small-cell lung carcinoma, this process was shown to occur in as little as one year following treatment ...

Persister cells are drug-tolerant bacteria capable of surviving antibiotic treatment despite the absence of heritable resistance mechanisms. It is generally thought that persister cells survive antibiotic exposure through the implementation of stress ...

Signalingmediated bacterial persister formation
Here we show that bacterial communication through indole signaling induces persistence, a phenomenon in which a subset of an isogenic bacterial population tolerates antibiotic treatment.
