Chlorate Specifically Targets Oxidant-Starved, Antibiotic-Tolerant Populations of <named-content content-type="genus-species">Pseudomonas aeruginosa</named-content> Biofilms

ABSTRACT Nitrate respiration is a widespread mode of anaerobic energy generation used by many bacterial pathogens, and the respiratory nitrate reductase, Nar, has long been known to reduce chlorate to the toxic oxidizing agent chlorite. Here, we demonstrate the antibacterial activity of chlorate aga...
