Killing curves of ampicillin treated L. lactis MG1363. Stationary (a) and exponential (b) L. lactis MG1363 cells were diluted in medium with ampicillin and their ability to grow was measured on agar plates. Surviving cells from culture (a) (Parent) were propagated in medium without ampicillin and a second killing curve was recorded (Survivors). Some error bars (SD, n = 3) are too small to be visible. The solid line indicates the fit of a persister-model17.
