Abstract excerpt
Extensive antibiotic use increases the environmental presence of their residues and may accelerate the development of antibiotic resistance, although this remains poorly understood at environmentally relevant concentrations. Herein, susceptible Escherichia coli K12 was continuously exposed to five antibiotics at such concentrations for 100 days. The de novo-evolved mutants rapidly obtained fluoroquinolone...
