- Abstract:
-
The ability of bacteria to evolve resistance to antibiotics has been much reported in recent years. It is less well-known that within populations of bacteria there are cells which are resistant due to a non-inherited phenotypic switch to a slow-growing state. Although such 'persister' cells are receiving increasing attention, the evolutionary forces involved here have been relatively ignored. Persistence has a direct benefit to cells because it allows survival during catastrophes - a form of ...
