This study shows that incomplete killing by antimicrobial metals like copper and silver in Escherichia coli leads to transient antibiotic tolerance through delayed recovery, not genetic changes.

This study compares the sub-MIC kill kinetics of copper and silver in Escherichia coli, revealing distinct growth and survival responses that impact antimicrobial resistance development.

This study shows Escherichia coli evolves increased tolerance to copper and silver surfaces without enhanced metal ion resistance or mutation accumulation, suggesting passive metal restriction mechanisms are favored over active efflux.
