Macrophage Cell Lines and Murine Infection by Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhi L-Form Bacteria

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Antibiotic resistance of pathogenic bacteria has emerged as a major threat to public health worldwide. While stable resistance due to the acquisition of genomic mutations or plasmids carrying antibiotic resistance genes is well established, much less is known about the temporary and reversible resistance induced by antibiotic treatment, such as that due to treatment with bacterial cell wall-inhibiting antibiotics such as ampicillin.
