Abstract excerpt
Experimental evolution studies have shown that weak antibiotic selective pressures (i.e., when the antibiotic concentrations are far below the minimum inhibitory concentration, MIC) can select resistant mutants, raising several unanswered questions. First, what are the lowest antibiotic concentrations at which selection for de novo resistance mutations can occur? Second, with weak antibiotic selections, which...
