Abstract excerpt
Antibiotic resistance is a threatening challenge for global health, as the expansion of resistance to current antibiotics has made serious therapeutic problems. Genome mutations are key evolutionary mechanisms conferring antibiotic resistance in bacterial pathogens. For example, penicillin and cephalosporins resistance is mostly mediated by mutations in penicillin binding proteins to change the affinity of the...
