Abstract excerpt
Antibiotic resistance is generally selected within a window of concentrations high enough to inhibit wild-type growth but low enough for new resistant mutants to emerge.

Five null mutations had little or no effect on intrinsic antibiotic susceptibility but increased the upper antibiotic dosage to which initially...
