What is the link between stringent response, endoribonuclease encoding Type II Toxin-Antitoxin systems and persistence?
Persistence is a transient and non-inheritable tolerance to antibiotics by a small fraction of a bacterial population. One of the proposed determinants of bacterial persistence is toxin-antitoxin systems (TAS) which are also implicated in a wide range of stress-related phenomena. Maisonneuve E, Cast...
