Environmental heterogeneity facilitates competitive suppression of drug resistance

2026-05-30

Abstract excerpt

Antimicrobial resistance is an emergent property of ecological interactions within complex microbial communities. Environmental perturbations, such as high-dose antimicrobial treatment, can alter competitive interactions in ways that either promote or suppress drug-resistant pathogens. Leveraging these competitive interactions shows promise in managing drug resistance in cancer, malaria, and bacteria. However, the...
