We show that most Salmonella typhimurium mutants resistant to streptomycin, rifampicin, and nalidixic acid are avirulent in mice. Of seven resistant mutants examined, six were avirulent and one was similar to the wild type in competition experiments in mice. The avirulent-resistant mutants rapidly accumulated various types of compensatory mutations that restored virulence without concomitant loss of resistance....
