The Persister

Persisters are the population of anti-biotic sensitive bacteria whose resilience is not accredited to mutation inheritance. Persisters account for approximately 1E-6 % of the bacteria population, or about 1 in a million, making them a difficult specimen to isolate and consequently a difficult subject of research. [1]

This is ThePersister.
