Sir,

Recently, there has been much interest in an aspect of the stationary phase of non-sporulating environmental bacteria termed the general stress response (GSR), which results in cells resistant to numerous physical and chemical stresses. 1 The final, non-replicating stages have been variously described as quiescent, resting, or dormant. We wished to test the hypothesis that this response to stress could be a critical event in chronic infection, resulting in . . . [Full Text of this Article]
