This study shows that the host environment, not biofilm growth, activates stress responses in Staphylococcus aureus and leads to ciprofloxacin tolerance at the single-cell level.

This study shows mitomycin C retains efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus resistance even after adaptive evolution, especially when combined with rifampicin.

The paper shows toxin/antitoxin systems induce persister cells to inhibit phage, working with restriction-modification systems to inactivate phage DNA.
