Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> It is unclear how bacteria rapidly adapt to resist novel drugs upon their introduction. Heteroresistance (HR) is a form of antibiotic resistance where a phenotypically unstable minority resistant subpopulation co-exists with a susceptible population. We observed HR to cefiderocol, a novel beta-lactam developed to resist beta-lactamases including extended-spectrum-beta-lactamases (ESBLs), among c...
