Antibiotics and antibiotic resistance: a bitter fight against evolution.

International journal of medical microbiology : IJMM - 1 Aug 2013

Rodríguez-Rojas Alexandro, Rodríguez-Beltrán Jerónimo, Couce Alejandro, Blázquez Jesús

Abstract excerpt

One of the most terrible consequences of Darwinian evolution is arguably the emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance, which is becoming a serious menace to modern societies. While spontaneous mutation, recombination and horizontal gene transfer are recognized as the main causes of this notorious phenomenon; recent research has raised awareness that sub-lethal concentrations of antibiotics can also foster...
