Persister cells in a biofilm treated with a biocide [PDF]
Biofouling, 2011 This study investigated the physiology and behaviour following treatment with ortho-phthalaldehyde (OPA), of Pseudomonas fluorescens in both the planktonic and sessile states. Steady-state biofilms and planktonic cells were collected from a bioreactor and their extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) were extracted using a method that did not destroy ...

Tea Tree Essential Oil Kills Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus epidermidis Persisters
Biomolecules, 2023 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 ...

Persistent Cancer Cells: The Deadly Survivors
Cell, 2020 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.

Alloreactive T cells and ‘the persistence of memory’ [PDF]
Kidney International, 2013 Circulating donor-reactive effector memory T cells have been associated with allograft injury in humans. The next step to translate this observation into clinical practice is the design of clinical trials aimed at individualization of T cell-targeted therapy.

Persister cells: formation, resuscitation and combative therapies. [PDF]
, 2021 Persister cells, or superfits, have been strongly implicated in the recalcitrance and recurrence of chronic bacterial infection through the dormant (metabolically reduced) phenotype they display and the tolerance to antimicrobial agents this dormancy ...

Persistent use of “false” cell lines [PDF]
International Journal of Cancer, 2007 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.

ColE-type plasmid bearing blaOXA-232 increases persister cell formation
Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance, 2023 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.

Is bacterial persistence a social trait? [PDF]
, 2007 All three authors are supported by Royal Society fellowships.The ability of bacteria to evolve resistance to antibiotics has been much reported in recent years. It is less well-known that within populations of bacteria there are cells which are resistant

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 ...

Molecular Systems Biology, 2022 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 ...
