On the one hand, "Cowboy" does invoke that spirit of the Wild West – a spirit that reflects many of the challenges of entrepreneurship: surviving, persisting, creating something new, hard-fought conquests to win space, establishing communities, etc.
As an intracellular pathogen, the success of M. tuberculosis is partially due to its ability to survive and persist in macrophages.
Several studies indicated that M. tuberculosis succeeds as an intracellular pathogen is partially due to its ability to survive and persist inside macrophages, which provide hostile environments with starvation and other stresses (Podinovskaia et al., 2013).
Many antibiotic-resistant bacteria such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Serratia marcescens and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), may survive and persist in the environment leading to recurrent outbreaks.
Rest from grazing in novel ecosystems also may not work because remaining original species may have experienced genetic changes that allow them to survive and persist with grazing pressure (Scott and Whalley 1984; Magcale-Macandog and Whalley 2000, 2007; Waters et al. 2010, 2011), but they may then lack the genetic variability to persist without grazing.
"Issues drift by like twigs in a tide," he wrote in 2001, "but humanity trudges forever forward, fighting to survive, to persist … to grow".
We hypothesize that A. baumannii may survive and persist in the airways of patients and cause disease at least in part by inducing a weak inflammatory response.
They were more sensitive to complement and were less able to survive and persist in sewage and surface water than their wild-type counterparts.
The ΔagfBAC811 mutation serves to reduce the bacterium's ability to form thin aggregative fimbriae [74] thus reducing its ability to survive and persist in the environment [75].
Because M28 GAS strains contain the RD2 element and cause a disproportionate number of postpartum infections, we hypothesized that serotype M28 GAS would be able to survive and persist in human AF, similarly to GBS.
