Pre-existing heterogeneity facilitates development of heteroresistance upon gene acquisition

2023-07-24

Abstract excerpt

Antibiotic resistance causes 1.27 million global deaths annually and is predicted to worsen. Heteroresistance is a form of resistance in which only a minor and unstable subpopulation of cells of a bacterial isolate are resistant to a given antibiotic, and are therefore often undetected by clinical diagnostics. These infrequent and undetected resistant cells can be selected during antibiotic therapy, expand in numb...
