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.

Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Persister Biofilm Cells of Bacillus cereus and Pseudomonas fluorescens [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2022 The present study evaluates the antimicrobial susceptibility of persister cells of Bacillus cereus and Pseudomonas fluorescens after their regrowth in suspension and as biofilms. Two conventional (benzalkonium chloride—BAC and peracetic acid—PAA) and two

Annual Review of Microbiology, 2010 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.

Combatting Persister Cells With Substituted Indoles
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Given that a subpopulation of most bacterial cells becomes dormant due to stress, and that the resting cells of pathogens can revive and reconstitute infections, it is imperative to find methods to treat dormant cells to eradicate infections. The dormant

Tolerant, Growing Cells from Nutrient Shifts Are Not Persister Cells
mBio, 2017 There is much controversy about the metabolic state of cells that are tolerant to antibiotics, known as persister cells. In this opinion piece, we offer an explanation for the discrepancy seen: some laboratories are studying metabolically active and ...

Persister cells in Burkholderia thailandensis [PDF]
, 2016 Persister cells are able to survive in the presence of high concentrations of antibiotic, and re-grow once the antibiotic has been removed. Unlike conventional antibiotic resistance, the antibiotic tolerance of persister cells is due to phenotypic ...

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 ...

In Vitro Studies of Persister Cells [PDF]
Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, 2020 Many bacterial pathogens can permanently colonize their host and establish either chronic or recurrent infections that the immune system and antimicrobial therapies fail to eradicate. Antibiotic persisters (persister cells) are believed to be among the factors that make these infections challenging.

Predicting Persisters: Investigating Gene Regulation in Persister Cells [PDF]
, 2019 Bacterial populations produce a small number of persister cells that remain tolerant to multidrug exposure by becoming metabolically dormant. This inquiry focuses on investigating metabolic gene expression levels in persisters to determine potential ...

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
