Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Bacterial persistence has become a worldwide health problem due to its ability to cause the recalcitrance and relapse of infections. The existence of bacterial persistence and their possible mechanisms have been widely reported.

Economics & Human Biology, 2021 We ask whether mortality from historical pandemics has any predictive content for mortality in the Covid-19 pandemic. We find strong persistence in public health performance. Places that performed worse in terms of mortality in the 1918 influenza pandemic also have higher Covid-19 mortality today.

Advancement of science, 2023 Infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus, notably methicillin‐resistant S. aureus (MRSA), pose treatment challenges due to its ability to tolerate antibiotics and develop antibiotic resistance.

Ontogeny and Vulnerabilities of Drug-Tolerant Persisters in HER2+ Breast Cancer
Cancer Discovery, 2021 Resistance to targeted therapies is an important clinical problem in HER2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer. “Drug-tolerant persisters” (DTPs), a sub-population of cancer cells that survive via reversible, non-genetic mechanisms, are implicated in ...

Are Bacterial Persisters Dormant Cells Only?
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Bacterial persisters are a sub-population of phenotypic variants that tolerate high concentrations of antibiotics within the genetically homogeneous cells. They resume division upon the removal of drugs.

Antisense mqsR-PNA as a putative target to the eradication of Pseudomonas aeruginosa persisters
New Microbes and New Infections, 2021 Chemotherapy is frequently unsuccessful in fully eradicating bacterial biofilm infections. Persisters are a main cause for the failure of antibiotic therapies and are assumed to significantly impact the increased multidrug tolerance and unsuccessful ...

The vulnerable versatility of Salmonella antibiotic persisters during infection.
Cell Host and Microbe, 2021 Tolerance and persistence are superficially similar phenomena by which bacteria survive bactericidal antibiotics. It is assumed that the same physiology underlies survival of individual tolerant and persistent bacteria.

PERSISTENCE IN CONVERGENCE [PDF]
Macroeconomic Dynamics, 2013 In this paper, we examine the convergence hypothesis using a long memory framework that allows for structural breaks and does not rely on a benchmark country. We find that even though the long memory framework of analysis is much richer than the simple I(1)/I(0) alternative, a simple absolute divergence and rapid convergence dichotomy produced by the ...

Scientific Reports, 2020 Persisters are a sub-population of genetically sensitive bacteria that survive antibiotic treatment by entering a dormant state. The emergence of persisters from dormancy after antibiotic withdrawal leads to recurrent infection.

Foundations of Computational Mathematics, 2010 We describe a new methodology for studying persistence of topological features across a family of spaces or point-cloud data sets, called zigzag persistence. Building on classical results about quiver representations, zigzag persistence generalises the highly successful theory of persistent homology and addresses several situations which are not ...
