Intraspecific variation in antibiotic resistance potential within E. coli.
Microbiology spectrum - 4 Jun 2024
Suarez Stacy A, Martiny Adam C
Abstract excerpt
Intraspecific genomic diversity brings the potential for an unreported and diverse reservoir of cryptic antibiotic resistance genes in pathogens, as cryptic resistance can occur without major mutations and horizontal transmission. Here, we predicted the differences in the types of antibiotics and genes that induce cryptic and latent resistance between micro-diverse Escherichia coli strains. For example, we...
