One Axis for Diverse Particles: Polyphosphate Predicts and Controls Nanoparticle-Induced Antibiotic Persistence in <i>Escherichia col</i><i>i</i> Rui Sun (19535113) Bacteriology Nanomaterials Inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) Bacterial persistence Nanoparticles -- Toxicology <p dir="ltr">Intermittent exposure of <i>Escherichia coli</i> to 10× MIC AgNPs induces the formation of persister cells. This induction of persistence is driven by intracellular accumulation of polyphosphate (polyP). Moreover, a range of distinct nanomaterials, including CuNPs, ZnO NPs, Fe₃O₄ NPs, CeO₂ NPs, and SiO₂ NPs, were also found to trigger polyP-dependent persister formation. Importantly, intracellular polyP levels can serve as a predictive indicator of the proportion of persister cells induced by nanomaterial exposure.</p> 2026-10-01T09:59:33Z Dataset Dataset 10.6084/m9.figshare.34042293.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/One_Axis_for_Diverse_Particles_Polyphosphate_Predicts_and_Controls_Nanoparticle-Induced_Antibiotic_Persistence_in_i_Escherichia_col_i_i_i_i_/34042293 CC BY 4.0
