Bacterial persistence is one of the major causes of antibiotic treatment failure and the step stone for antibiotic resistance. However, the mechanism by which persisters arise has not been well unders
The formation of persister cells is one mechanism by which bacteria can survive exposure to environmental stresses. We show that Campylobacter jejuni 11168H forms persister cells at a frequency of 10−
These data support the paper "Enrichment of persisters enabled by a novel ß-lactam-induced filamentation method reveals their stochastic single-cell awakening"
The aim of the present study was to investigate the mechanisms by which fosfomycin restrains biofilm formation and affects a 24h-old biofilm of S. aureus. RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) technology was used
RNA-Seq on common bacterial pathogens in the presence vs absence of a variety of antibiotics. Two susceptible and two resistant isolates were exposed to antibiotics in laboratory culture, total RNA wa
