Abstract excerpt
Through their action on DNA replication, anticancer chemotherapies could increase the basal mutation rate in bacteria and increase the risk of selecting antibiotic resistant mutants. We investigated the impact of several drugs on a beta-lactamase model using KPC-type carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae. We studied the impact of anticancer chemotherapies used in pediatric hematologic malignancies on 7...
