Bacteria use various mechanisms such as resistance, persistence, and tolerance to survive in unfavorable conditions. Bacterial persistence is a tendency of a bacterial population to adopt a non-growing phenotype and gain the ability to survive exposure to high concentration of antibiotics while hiding from the host immune system. Persisters arise from actively replicating bacterial populations as subpopulations without significant metabolic activity that tolerate traditional antibiotic treatments. Chlamydia pneumoniae is a gram-negative intracellular human pathogen. The ability of C. pneumoniae to convert into a persistent phenotype has been related to several chronic inflammatory diseases, such as atherosclerosis and asthma. At present,...
