Abstract:Staphylococcus aureus
is responsible for a substantial number of invasive infections globally each year. These infections are problematic because they are frequently recalcitrant to antibiotic treatment. Antibiotic tolerance, the ability of bacteria to persist despite normally lethal doses of antibiotics, contributes to antibiotic treatment failure in
S. aureus
infections. To understand how antibiotic tolerance is induced,
S. aureus
biofilms exposed to m… Show more
