This talk explores how phenotypic noise mediated by multicopy plasmids enables bacteria to survive in hostile and unpredictable environments. Combining experimental evolution with mathematical modeling, we examine how these dynamics lead to transient resistance — a temporary ability to tolerate lethal antibiotic concentrations without the acquisition of mutations. We will also discuss adaptive memory, a mechanism that allows bacteria to remember past exposures and respond more effectively to future challenges
