Antibiotic resistant bacteria survive treatment by doubling while shrinking.

Abstract excerpt

Many antibiotics that are used in healthcare, farming, and aquaculture end up in environments with different spatial structures that might promote heterogeneity in the emergence of antibiotic resistance. However, the experimental evolution of microbes at sub-inhibitory concentrations of antibiotics has been mainly carried out at the population level which does not allow capturing single-cell responses to...
