Evolutionary rescue is promoted in compact cellular populations
2022-05-28
Abstract excerpt
Mutation-mediated drug resistance is one of the primary causes for the failure of modern antibiotic or chemotherapeutic treatment. Yet, in the absence of treatment many drug resistance mutations are associated with a fitness cost and therefore subject to purifying selection. While, in principle, resistant subclones can escape purifying selection via subsequent compensatory mutations, current models predict such ev...
