Contents:
1. Evolution under antibiotic treatments: interplay between antibiotic persistence, tolerance and resistance -- 2. Antibiotic persisters and relapsing Salmonella enterica infections -- 3. The Biology of Persister Cells in E. coli -- 4. Persister Formation and Antibiotic Tolerance of Chronic Infections -- 5. Persister formation driven by TisB-dependent membrane depolarization -- 6. Toxin-antitoxin systems and persistence -- 7. Nutrient depletion and bacterial persistence -- 8. Genetic determinants of persistence in Escherichia coli -- 9. Persister resuscitation -- 10.

Antimicrobial drug discovery against persisters. .
In: Springer eBooksAbstract: This volume is a collection of chapters from the leading experts in the relatively new and burgeoning field of persister cell studies. Persisters play a leading role in the recalcitrance of chronic infections, and enable the development of classical antibiotic resistance. The focus of the book is on studies that provide an understanding of the mechanisms of persister formation, antibiotic tolerance and role in disease, at the molecular level.
