Abstract

Persistent bacteria contribute to antibiotic treatment failure, potentially fueling resistance. Persisters must survive host defenses while retaining infective capacity after antibiotic cessation. In this issue of Cell Host and Microbe, Hill et al. identify bacterial RecA as a DNA repair factor that allows intracellular bacteria survival, regrowth, and relapse.
