Summary:This minireview is the second of a two-part series which summarizes the major points of a symposium and round-table discussion held at the 25th Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy in Minneapolis in 1985. Part one considered phenotypic tolerance, tolerance in animal models, and controversies as to the definition and mechanisms of genotypic tolerance, and this part focuses on the techniques used to detect genotypic antibiotic tolerance in clinical isolates of bacteria.
