Inhibition of protein synthesis does not increase the frequency of persisters
| Antibiotic | CFU60/CFU0 ratio | Frequency of persistersa |
|---|---|---|
| None | 12.1 ± 2.8 | (2.8 ± 1.8) × 10−6 |
| Chloramphenicol | 1.5 ± 0.5 | (5.5 ± 2.0) × 10−6 |
| Tetracycline | 0.9 ± 0.2 | (5.2 ± 1.1) × 10−6 |
That is, the frequency of persisters at 60 min after antibiotic treatment.
