Bacterial persistence is essential for susceptible cell survival in indirect resistance, mainly for lower cell densities

Antibiotic-susceptible bacteria may survive bactericidal antibiotics if other co-inhabiting bacteria detoxify the medium through antibiotic degradation or modification, a phenomenon denominated as indirect resistance. However, it is unclear how susceptible cells survive while the medium is still tox...
