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 ...

Tea Tree Essential Oil Kills Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus epidermidis Persisters
Persister cells are a small subpopulation of non-growing bacteria within a population that can survive long exposures to antibiotic treatment. Following antibiotic removal, persister cells can regrow and populate, playing a key role in the chronic ...

The role of dendritic cells in viral persistence [PDF]
Viruses must modulate or suppress their host's immune system in order to persist. In this review, we discuss the means in which the lympocytic choriomenengitis virus targets and infects an essential component of the immune system, the dendritic cell, essential to bridging the innate and adaptive immune response.

ColE-type plasmid bearing blaOXA-232 increases persister cell formation
Objectives: Bacterial persister cells are a sub-population of cells that are tolerant to high concentrations of antibiotics. In this study, we investigated the effect of plasmids bearing carbapenemase genes on persister cell formation.

Persistent use of “false” cell lines [PDF]
AbstractFrom HeLa and its multiple identities, to MDA‐MB‐435, erroneously and widely used as breast cancer cells, the history of cancer cell lines is rich in misidentification and cross‐contamination events. Despite the fact that these problems were regularly signaled during the last decades, many actors of research still seem to ignore them.

THE PERSISTENCE OF HEMOPOIETIC STEM CELLS IN VITRO [PDF]
Cells capable of forming colonies in spleens of irradiated mice (CFU) are lost temporarily when bone marrow cells from rats or mice are maintained in culture. Rat marrow CFU go through a minimum at about 3 days after which there is a slow increase in the number of CFU in culture, reaching a maximum at 9 days.

Persistent Cancer Cells: The Deadly Survivors
Persistent cancer cells are the discrete and usually undetected cells that survive cancer drug treatment and constitute a major cause of treatment failure. These cells are characterized by their slow proliferation, highly flexible energy consumption, adaptation to their microenvironment, and phenotypic plasticity.

Asymmetric Cell Division: A Persistent Issue? [PDF]
Heterogeneity within a clonal population of cells can increase survival in the face of environmental stress. In a recent issue of Science, Aldridge et al. (2012) demonstrate that cell division in mycobacteria is asymmetric, producing daughter cells that differ in size, growth rate, and susceptibility to antibiotics.

Graphical Abstract Similar to persister bacterial cells that survive antibiotic treatments, some cancer cells can evade drug treatments. This Commentary discusses the different classes of persister cells and their implications for developing more ...

Novel Protocol for Persister Cells Isolation
La persistance bactérienne, où une fraction d'une population présente une résistance transitoire aux substances bactéricides, a une grande importance médicale en raison de sa relation avec l'apparition de résistances aux antibiotiques et d'infections bactériennes chroniques non traitables.
