Modeling suggests that gene circuit architecture controls phenotypic variability in a bacterial persistence network

BACKGROUND: Bacterial persistence is a non-inherited bet-hedging mechanism where a subpopulation of cells enters a dormant state, allowing those cells to survive environmental stress such as treatment with antibiotics. Persister cells are not mutants; they are formed by natural stochastic variation...
