The Effects of Sub-inhibitory Antibiotic Concentrations on Pseudomonas aeruginosa: Reduced Susceptibility Due to Mutations
20 Dec 2021
Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas aeruginosa chronically infects in the lungs of people with cystic fibrosis and other forms of lung disease. Infections are treated with antibiotics, but over time, the bacteria acquire mutations that reduce their antibiotic susceptibility. The effects of inhibitory amounts of antibiotics in selecting for antibiotic-resistant mutants have been well studied. However, the concentrations of antibiotics...
