Extreme Antibiotic Persistence via Heterogeneity-Generating Mutations Targeting Translation
Bacterial persistence is a fascinating phenomenon in which a small subpopulation of bacteria becomes phenotypically tolerant to lethal antibiotic exposure. There is growing evidence that populations of bacteria in chronic clinical infections develop a hyperpersistent phenotype, enabling a substantia...
