Research Article | Molecular Biology and PhysiologyProteomic Study of the Survival and Resuscitation Mechanisms of Filamentous Persisters in an Evolved Escherichia coli Population from Cyclic Ampicillin TreatmentPersisters are a subpopulation of cells with enhanced survival toward antibiotic treatment and have the ability to resume normal growth when the antibiotic stress is lifted. Although proteomics is the most suitable tool to study them from a system-level perspective, the number of persisters that present naturally is too few for proteomics analysis, and thus the complex mechanisms through which they are able to survive antibiotic...
