mBioDNA repair machinery has been found to be indispensable for fluoroquinolone (FQ) persistence of Escherichia coli. Previously, we found that cells harboring two copies of the chromosome (2Chr) in stationary-phase cultures were more likely to yield FQ ...

Stationary-phase Pseudomonas aeruginosa fluoroquinolone persisters mostly avoid DNA double-stranded breaks [PDF]
mSphereWhen susceptible bacterial cultures are treated with antibiotics, some cells can survive treatment without heritable resistance, giving rise to susceptible daughter cells in a phenomenon termed antibiotic persistence.

Persisters: a distinct physiological state of
BMC Microbiology, 2006 Background Bacterial populations contain persisters, phenotypic variants that constitute approximately 1% of cells in stationary phase and biofilm cultures.

Salmonella enterica persister cells exhibit distinct susceptibility profiles following exposure to human serum and macrophages. [PDF]
PLoS ONESalmonella enterica, particularly non-typhoidal serovars (NTS), is a leading cause of foodborne illness, with invasive infections posing high mortality risks in developing countries.

Bakuchiol kills Staphylococcus aureus persisters and potentiates colistin activity against Acinetobacter baumannii persisters [PDF]
Frontiers in PharmacologyInfections associated with bacterial persisters are challenging to cure because they can evade antibiotics and regrow, often resulting in relapse.

Escherichia coli persisters in biofilm can perform horizontal gene transfer by transformation
Biochemical and Biophysical Research CommunicationsPersisters represent a subset of cells that exhibit transient tolerance to antimicrobials. These persisters can withstand sudden exposure to antimicrobials, even as the majority of normal cells perish.

The Synergistic Effect of Exogenous Glutamine and Rifampicin Against Mycobacterium Persisters
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Persisters, stochastic dormant variants of normal bacteria cell, represent a significant portion of the survivors upon exposure to antibiotics and other environmental stresses, which contributes substantially to high level antibiotics tolerance ...

Communications Biology, 2021 Schulte et al. show that non-replicating Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium persisters, which are tolerant to antibiotics, sense their environment and respond to stressors.

Metamorphoses of Lyme disease spirochetes: phenomenon of Borrelia persisters
Parasites & Vectors, 2019 The survival of spirochetes from the Borrelia burgdorferi (sensu lato) complex in a hostile environment is achieved by the regulation of differential gene expression in response to changes in temperature, salts, nutrient content, acidity fluctuation ...

Nature Communications, 2019 Fluoroquinolone (FQ)-induced DNA damage in persisters could promote antibiotic resistance. Here, using time-lapse microscopy and genetic analyses, the authors show that after a single round of FQ treatment, SOS response in persisters accelerates the ...
