The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Specialized Persister Cells and the Mechanism of Multidrug Tolerance in Escherichia coli (2004, background): “Identification of MDT genes is an important first step in understanding recalcitrance of biofilms to antibiotic therapy, and it is likely to shed light on other related but poorly understood phenomena involving a dormant state, such as latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection (46), “viable but no”
The importance of the viable but non-culturable state in human bacterial pathogens (2014, background): “Despite the fact that the formation and the morphological/physiological changes of the VBNC state have been well investigated (Barcina et al., 1997; Colwell and Grimes, 2000), little is known about the genetic control underlying this state.”
