Unrelated toxin-antitoxin systems cooperate to induce persistence. [PDF]
, 2015 Persisters are drug-tolerant bacteria that account for the majority of bacterial infections. They are not mutants, rather, they are slow-growing cells in an otherwise normally growing population.

Octyl Gallate Use to Protect Seeds from Foodborne Fungal Pathogens
Biology and Life Sciences Forum, 2022 There is limited efficacy with conventional seed sanitation methods, directly affecting food safety. Insufficient elimination of mycotoxin-producing fungi contaminating seed surfaces can result in high mycotoxin contamination.

Variable protection against experimental broiler necrotic enteritis after immunisation with the C-terminal fragment of Clostridium perfringens alpha-toxin and a non-toxic NetB variant [PDF]
, 2016 Necrotic enteritis toxin B (NetB) is a pore-forming toxin produced by Clostridium perfringens and has been shown to play a key role in avian necrotic enteritis (NE), a disease causing significant costs to the poultry production industry worldwide.

Cinnamic Acid Analogs as Intervention Catalysts for Overcoming Antifungal Tolerance
Molecules, 2017 Disruption of fungal cell wall should be an effective intervention strategy. However, the cell wall-disrupting echinocandin drugs, such as caspofungin (CAS), cannot exterminate filamentous fungal pathogens during treatment.
