Membrane depolarization-triggered responsive diversification leads to antibiotic tolerance

Membrane depolarization-triggered responsive diversification leads to antibiotic tolerance

Bacterial populations are known to harbor a small fraction of so-called persister cells that have the remarkable ability to survive treatment with very high doses of antibiotics. Recent studies underscore the importance of persistence in chronic infections, yet the nature of persisters remains poo...
