The fitness costs and benefits of antibiotic resistance in drug-free microenvironments encountered in the human body.

Environmental microbiology reports - 1 Oct 2017

Maharjan Ram, Ferenci Thomas

Abstract excerpt

The relationship between bacterial drug resistance and growth fitness is a contentious topic, but some antibiotic resistance mutations clearly have a fitness cost in the laboratory. Whether these costs translate into deleterious effects in natural habitats is less certain however. Previously, fitness effects of resistance mutations were mostly characterized in nutrient-rich, fast-growth conditions, which bacteria...
