Synchronized switching of multiple toxin–antitoxin modules by (p)ppGpp fluctuation

Toxin–antitoxin (TA) loci are widespread in bacteria including important pathogenic species. Recent studies suggest that TA systems play a key role in persister formation. However, the persistence phenotype shows only weak dependence on the number of TA systems, i.e. they are functionally redundant....
