Cryptic β-lactamase evolution is driven by low β-lactam concentrations
2020-12-02
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Our current understanding of how low antibiotic concentrations shape the evolution of contemporary β-lactamases is limited. Using the wide-spread carbapenemase OXA-48, we tested the long-standing hypothesis that selective compartments with low antibiotic concentrations cause standing genetic diversity that could act as a gateway to develop clinical resistance. Here, we subjected Escherichia col...
