Abstract excerpt
The fitness effects of antibiotic resistance mutations are a major driver of resistance evolution. While the nutrient environment affects bacterial fitness, experimental studies of resistance typically measure fitness of mutants in a single environment only. We explored how the nutrient environment affected the fitness effects of rifampicin-resistant rpoB mutations in Escherichia coli under several conditions...
