Bacterial recombination promotes the evolution of multi-drug-resistance in functionally diverse populations.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Apr 2012

Abstract excerpt

Bacterial recombination is believed to be a major factor explaining the prevalence of multi-drug-resistance (MDR) among pathogenic bacteria. Despite extensive evidence for exchange of resistance genes from retrospective sequence analyses, experimental evidence for the evolutionary benefits of bacterial recombination is scarce. We compared the evolution of MDR between populations of Acinetobacter baylyi in which...
