Sequence type diversity amongst antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains is lower than amongst antibiotic-susceptible strains

2022-11-24

Abstract excerpt

The increasing number of antibiotic resistant bacterial infections is a global threat to human health. Antibiotic resistant bacterial strains generally evolve from susceptible strains by either horizontal gene transfer or chromosomal mutations. After evolving within a host, such resistant strains can be transmitted to other hosts and increase in frequency in the population at large. Population genetic theory postu...
