Biofilm Formation in Food Processing Environments is Still Poorly Understood and Controlled (2014, background): “It has frequently been observed that biofilm cells can tolerate much higher concentrations of biocides than their planktonic counterpart, and consequently, cleaning and sanitation procedures used in the food industry are sometimes ineffectual in their removal [26, 61, 94].”
Antimicrobial Peptides (2013, background): “These cells are dormant phenotypic variants and are highly tolerant to antibiotics [227].”
Antimicrobial Resistance and Virulence: a Successful or Deleterious Association in the Bacterial World? (2013, neutral): “The SOS response (370, 371) and environmental”
Biofilms: The Microbial “Protective Clothing” in Extreme Environments (2019, background): “The morphological structures of microorganisms in the biofilm and their sensitivity to environmental factors as well as biological characteristics are substantially different to planktonic microorganisms [28].”
Mechanisms of bacterial persistence during stress and antibiotic exposure (2016, background): “Despite considerable efforts and recent advances in the field,major hurdles to efficient strategies against persisters remain, including a lack of comprehensive understanding of which physiological properties and molecular mechanisms underlie their formation, survival, and resuscitation (3, 5, 7, 8)”
A review of microbial biofilms of produce: Future challenge to food safety (2012, background): “Significant phenotypic changes in biofilms communities and their resistance to disinfectants may be explained by persister cells (168,169).”
Bacterial biofilm formation on implantable devices and approaches to its treatment and prevention (2018, background): “Additionally, it has been seen that some bacteria within biofilms, called “persister cells,” are dormant variants that exhibit antibiotic tolerance and can become active when the therapy is withdrawn [1, 8, 32, 33, 34, 35].”
Staphylococcus aureus biofilms: recent developments in biofilm dispersal (2014, background): “An alternative proposal is that antibiotic tolerance is due to the development of physiologically dormant persister cells that form stochastically during biofilm growth (Lewis, 2010).”
Fundamentals of Microbial Community Resistance and Resilience (2012, background): “Stochastic gene expression is among the multiple pathways that can lead to the formation of persisters (Lewis, 2010), a phenomenon that may have many parallels in non-pathogenic microorganisms.”
Mycobacterium tuberculosis: Success through dormancy (2012, background): “A small population will stay in or fall into dormancy thus showing tolerance to drug treatment (Lewis, 2010).”
