Abstract excerpt
The emergence of antibiotic tolerance (prolonged survival against exposure) in natural bacterial populations is a major concern. Since it has been studied primarily in isogenic populations, we do not yet understand how ecological interactions in a diverse community impact the evolution of tolerance. To address this, we studied the evolutionary dynamics of a synthetic bacterial community composed of two...
