A Quorum Sensing Small Volatile Molecule Promotes Antibiotic Tolerance in Bacteria

Bacteria can be refractory to antibiotics due to a sub-population of dormant cells, called persisters that are highly tolerant to antibiotic exposure. The low frequency and transience of the antibiotic tolerant “persister” trait has complicated elucidation of the mechanism that controls antibiotic t...
