The problem of antibiotic resistant bacteria. The important role of environmentally responsive mutagenesis, its relevance to a new paradigm that may allow a solution.

Abstract excerpt

The frequent creation of antibiotic resistant bacteria through mutation poses a severe medical problem. As a way towards solving the problem, mutations conferring antibiotic sensitivity could be induced in such bacteria at very high frequency through the controlled process of environmentally responsive mutagenesis, an adaptively responsive mutator process. Such induction, as a necessary developmental stage...
