[Antibiotic resistance here to stay? Compensatory mutations restore virulence of resistant bacteria].

Lakartidningen - 9 Sept 1998

Andersson D I, Björkman J, Hughes D

Abstract excerpt

Bacterial antibiotic resistance has increased alarmingly because of overuse of antibiotics both in humans and animals. One way of reversing this development is to reduce the use of antibiotics, thus promoting the disappearance of the resistant bacteria already present in humans and the environment. This approach is based on the assumption that resistance is conferred at the cost of impaired survival fitness in...
