How do environment-dependent switching rates between susceptible and persister cells affect the dynamics of biofilms faced with antibiotics?

Persisters form sub-populations of stress-tolerant cells that play a major role in the capacity of biofilms to survive and recover from disturbances such as antibiotic treatments. The mechanisms of persistence are diverse and influenced by environmental conditions, and persister populations are more...
