Abstract excerpt
Antibiotics that have multiple cellular targets theoretically reduce the frequency of resistance evolution, but adaptive trajectories and resistance mechanisms against such antibiotics are understudied. Here we investigate these in methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) using experimental evolution upon exposure to delafloxacin (DLX), a novel fluoroquinolone that targets both DNA gyrase and...
