The Evolution of Heteroresistance via Small Colony Variants in <i>Escherichia coli</i> Following Long Term Exposure to Bacteriostatic Antibiotics
2023-10-30
Abstract excerpt
Traditionally, bacteriostatic antibiotics are agents able to arrest bacterial growth. Despite being traditionally viewed as unable to kill bacterial cells, when they are used clinically the outcome of these drugs is frequently as effective as when a bactericidal drug is used. We explore the dynamics of Escherichia coli after exposure to two ribosome-targeting bacteriostatic antibiotics, chloramphenicol and azithr...
