(p)ppGpp-mediated GTP homeostasis ensures survival and antibiotic tolerance of Staphylococcus aureus

Abstract Antibiotic tolerance in non-growing bacterial populations is of major concern regarding antibiotic treatment failures. Whether and how the messenger molecule (p)ppGpp contributes to this phenomenon is controversial. We show for Staphylococcus aureus that (p)ppGpp-dependent restriction of th...
