Abstract

In A. baumannii, the combination of colistin and amikacin was most effective for eradication of persister cells, probably due to different mechanisms of persister cell formation between antibiotics. It was also identified that the sequential order of colistin followed by amikacin was important to eradicate the persister cells.
