Heterogeneous survival upon disinfection underlies evolution of increased tolerance
ABSTRACT Disinfection is important to limit the spread of infections, but failure of disinfection may foster the evolution of antimicrobial resistance in bacteria. Persisters are phenotypically tolerant subpopulations that survive toxic stress longer than susceptible cells, leading to failure in tre...
