...Persisters are phenotypic variants but not mutants (Kester and Fortune, 2014)....

...Early studies suggest that, unlike antibiotic resistance, bacterial retention is a physiological state of bacteria that temporarily resists antibiotic stress, and does not result in a change in the genotype (Kester and Fortune, 2014)....

...In a seminal work from Balaban and colleagues, a hipA mutant was used to observe high levels of persisters; their generation dynamics, b-lactam survival, and growth characteristics were assayed (Balaban et al., 2004)....

...When compiled with their wild type E. coli data, a model evolved whereby persistence is achieved through slow or absent growth of cells (Balaban et al., 2004)....

...It has been proposed that persister cell formation is a major determinant of biofilm-associated antibiotic treatment failure (Lewis, 2006; Römling & Balsalobre, 2012; Spoering & Lewis, 2001)....
