Persistence: a copacetic and parsimonious hypothesis
... Persistence has been described as a bet-hedging mechanism [16,17], a way for populations of bacteria to survive periodic confrontations with agents, like antibiotics, that kill growing cells. Consistent with this bet-hedging perspective are the results of mathematical modeling studies [12,16,18] ...
