Abstract excerpt
Current antibiotic testing does not include the potential influence of host cell environment on microbial susceptibility and antibiotic resistance, hindering appropriate therapeutic intervention.

Our findings revealed a bacterial mechanism that promotes antibiotic resistance in vivo at...
