Abstract : Growth restriction due to stasis and/or hyperosmolarity is a common situation encountered by microorganisms in nature. Therefore, they have developed defence systems allowing them to withstand these periods. Bacteria respond to these conditions by a metabolic reprogramming which leads to a cellular state of enhanced resistance. This communication reviews recent advances in knowledge of the molecular basis of this phenomenon in different bacteria.
