Temperature dependence of the mutation rate towards antibiotic resistance
6 May 2024
Abstract excerpt
Objectives: Environmental conditions can influence mutation rates in bacteria. Fever is a common response to infection that alters the growth conditions of infecting bacteria. Here we examine how a temperature change, such as is associated with fever, affects the mutation rate towards antibiotic resistance. Methods: at two different temperatures: 37°C (normal temperature) and 40°C (fever temperature). We...
