Molecular mechanisms underlying bacterial persisters. (2014, neutral): “Such types of cellular heterogeneity are often referred to as bet-hedging strategies (Dubnau and Losick, 2006; Veening et al., 2008).”
Biofilm-Related Infections: Bridging the Gap between Clinical Management and Fundamental Aspects of Recalcitrance toward Antibiotics (2014, background): “crease in the percentage of cells reaching the threshold (94, 159).”
Colloquium: Criticality and dynamical scaling in living systems (2017, background): “39 Indeed, clonal populations of unicellular organisms such as viruses or bacteria often exhibit phenotypic diversity, which constitutes a sort of “bet-hedging” strategy to cope with unpredictable environmental changes (Kussell and Leibler, 2005; Veening et al., 2008; Wolf et al., 2005).”
