Collective antibiotic resistance: mechanisms and implications.

Current opinion in microbiology - 1 Oct 2014

Vega Nicole M, Gore Jeff

Abstract excerpt

In collective resistance, microbial communities are able to survive antibiotic exposures that would be lethal to individual cells. In this review, we explore recent advances in understanding collective resistance in bacteria. The population dynamics of 'cheating' in a system with cooperative antibiotic inactivation have been described, providing insight into the demographic factors that determine resistance...
