Enhanced antibiotic resistance development from fluoroquinolone persisters after a single exposure to antibiotic

Fluoroquinolone (FQ)-induced DNA damage in persisters could promote antibiotic resistance. Here, using time-lapse microscopy and genetic analyses, the authors show that after a single round of FQ treatment, SOS response in persisters accelerates the development of resistance to unrelated antibiotics...
