Persisters represent a small subpopulation of cells that are tolerant killing by antibiotics and implicated in the recalcitrance chronic infections to antibiotic therapy. One general theme has emerged regarding persisters formed different bacterial species, namely, state relative dormancy characterized diminished activity targets. Within this framework, number studies have linked persister formation stochastic decreases energy-generating components, leading low ATP target activity. In study, we screen knockouts main global regulators Escherichia coli for their effect on persisters. A knockout integration host factor (IHF) had elevated level This was accompanied an overexpression isocitrate dehydrogenase (Icd) downregulation lyase (AceA), two genes located at bifurcation between tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle glyoxylate bypass. Using translational ihfA-mVenus fusion, sort out rare bright cells, is enriched Our results suggest noise expression ihf produces with Icd/high AceA, diverting substrates into bypass, which ATP, antibiotic-tolerant We further examine simple model, lac operon, show lacI repressor increases operon formation. quenching serves as approach determine nature variety species conditions.

Recalcitrant bacterial infections can be caused by various types of dormant bacteria, including persisters and viable but nonculturable (VBNC) cells. Despite their clinical importance, we know fairly little about dormancy development recovery. Previously, established a correlation between protein aggregation in Escherichia coli. Here, present further support for direct relationship both. Our experiments demonstrate that aggregates progressively sequester proteins involved energy production, thereby likely causing ATP depletion dormancy. Furthermore, structural features determine the cell's ability to exit resume growth. Proteins were shown first assemble liquid-like condensates solidify over time. This liquid-to-solid phase transition impedes aggregate dissolution, preventing growth resumption. data model which structure, rather than cellular activity, marks from persister VBNC state. are often authors explore how composition structure affect this

Abstract Across the tree of life, populations have evolved capacity to contend with suboptimal conditions by engaging in dormancy, whereby individuals enter a reversible state reduced metabolic activity. The resulting seed banks are complex, storing information and imparting memory that gives rise multi-scale structures networks spanning collections cells entire ecosystems. We outline fundamental attributes emergent phenomena associated dormancy banks, vision for unifying mathematically based framework can address problems life sciences, ranging from global change cancer biology.

Bacterial persisters are a sub-population of phenotypic variants that tolerate high concentrations antibiotics within the genetically homogeneous cells. They resume division upon removal drugs. persistence is one major causes antibiotic treatment failure and recurrent infection. Cell dormancy, triggered by toxin/antitoxin pair, (p)ppGpp, SOS response ATP levels, known to be mechanistic basis for persistence. However, recent studies have demonstrated bacteria with active metabolism can maintain lowering intracellular concentration via an efflux pump. Additionally, others our work showed cell wall deficient (CWDB), including both L-form spheroplasts produced β-lactam antibiotics, associated not dormant cells as their walls been completely damaged. In this review, we discuss various types highlight contribution non-walled on bacterial

Over the years, much attention has been drawn to antibiotic resistance bacteria, but drug inefficacy caused by a subgroup of special phenotypic variants – persisters largely neglected in both scientific and clinical field. Interestingly, this displayed their power withstanding sufficient antibiotics exposure mechanism different from resistance. In review, we summarized importance bacterial persisters, evolutionary link between resistance, tolerance, persistence, redundant mechanisms persister formation as well methods studying cells. light our recent findings membrane-less organelle aggresome its important roles regulating dormancy depth, propose an alternative approach for anti-persister therapy. That is, force into deeper state become VBNC (viable non-culturable) cell that is incapable regrowth. We hope provide latest insights on studies call upon more research interest
