Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Many bacteria and fungi weather these periods by entering a hardy, non-replicating state, often termed quiescence or dormancy. When this occurs during an infection, the resulting slowly-growing pathogen is able to tolerate both immune insults and prolonged antibiotic exposure.
Detailed explanation-2: -At temperatures below their optimum for growth microorganisms will become increasingly unable to sequester substrates from their environment because of lowered affinity, exacerbating the anyway near-starvation conditions in many natural environments.
