Abstract: Recalcitrant bacterial infections can be caused by various types of dormant bacteria, including persisters and viable but nonculturable (VBNC) cells. Despite their clinical importance, we know fairly little about bacterial dormancy development and recovery. Previously,… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Antibiotic resistance is a serious problem which may be caused by bacterial dormancy. It has been suggested that bacterial toxin–antitoxin systems induce dormancy. We analyzed the genome-wide role of Staphylococcus aureus endoribonuclease toxin MazF… read more here.
