Predictable Phenotypes of Antibiotic Resistance Mutations.
mBio - 15 May 2018
Knopp M, Andersson D I
Abstract excerpt
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria represent a major threat to our ability to treat bacterial infections. Two factors that determine the evolutionary success of antibiotic resistance mutations are their impact on resistance level and the fitness cost. Recent studies suggest that resistance mutations commonly show epistatic interactions, which would complicate predictions of their stability in bacterial populations. We...
