Abstract excerpt
The evolution of bacterial resistance to antibiotics by mutation within the genome (as distinct from horizontal gene transfer of new material into a genome) could occur in a single step but is usually a multistep process. Resistance evolution can be studied in laboratory environments by serial passage of bacteria in liquid culture or on agar, with selection at constant, or varying, concentrations of drug. Whole...
