Abstract
In this work, Pu et al. introduced a concept of “dormancy depth” that provides a unifying framework for understanding both persisters and viable but non-culturable cells. Subsequent mechanistic investigations revealed how ATP-dependent dynamic protein aggregation regulates cellular dormancy and resuscitation, the fine control of which facilitates bacterial drug tolerance.
