Signaling-Mediated Bacterial Persister Formation

Here we show that bacterial communication through indole signaling induces persistence, a phenomenon in which a subset of an isogenic bacterial population tolerates antibiotic treatment. We monitor indole-induced persister formation using microfluidics, and identify the role of oxidative stress and...
