A coevolution experiment between Flavobacterium johnsoniae and Burkholderia thailandensis reveals parallel mutations that reduce antibiotic susceptibility.

Abstract excerpt

One interference mechanism of bacterial competition is the production of antibiotics. Bacteria exposed to antibiotics can resist antibiotic inhibition through intrinsic or acquired mechanisms. Here, we performed a coevolution experiment to understand the long-term consequences of antibiotic production and antibiotic susceptibility for two environmental bacterial strains. We grew five independent lines of the...
