The Social Lives of Microbes (2007, background): “…rise to new populations that have the same vulnerability to antibiotic treatment; and (b) persistence is controlled by a phenotypic switch—all cells have the potential to become persisters and persisters readily revert to normal growth rate (Balaban et al. 2004, Kussell et al. 2005, Lewis 2007).”
Biofilm-Related Infections: Bridging the Gap between Clinical Management and Fundamental Aspects of Recalcitrance toward Antibiotics (2014, background): “At the population level, the presence of persisters can be viewed as an insurance strategy (85).”
Physiological heterogeneity in biofilms (2008, background): “Although all cells experienced nearly identical environmental conditions, individual cells divided at different rate”
