Evolutionary pathways to antibiotic resistance are dependent upon environmental structure and bacterial lifestyle
2019-03-19
Abstract excerpt
Bacterial populations vary in their stress tolerance and population structure depending upon whether growth occurs in well-mixed or structured environments. We hypothesized that evolution in biofilms would generate greater genetic diversity than well-mixed environments and lead to different pathways of antibiotic resistance. We used experimental evolution and whole genome sequencing to test how the biofilm lifesty...
