Abstract excerpt
To tackle the global antibiotic resistance crisis, antibiotic resistance acquired either vertically by chromosomal mutations or horizontally through antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) have been studied. Yet, little is known about the interactions between the two, which may impact the evolution of antibiotic resistance. Here, we develop a multiplexed barcoded approach to assess the fitness of 144 mutant-ARG...
