Persistence against benzalkonium chloride promotes rapid evolution of tolerance during periodic disinfection
Phenotypically tolerant, persister bacterial subpopulations can survive transient antibiotic treatment and facilitate resistance evolution. Here, Nordholt et al. show that E. coli can display persistence against a widely used disinfectant and this is associated with alterations in the cell surface a...
