Agrichemicals boost the effects of antibiotics on antibiotic resistance evolution
2018-05-10
Abstract excerpt
Antibiotic resistance is medicine’s climate change: caused by human activity, and resulting in more extreme outcomes. Resistance emerges in microbial populations when antibiotics act on phenotypic variance within the population. This can arise from either genotypic diversity (resulting from a mutation or horizontal gene transfer), or from ‘adaptive’ differences in gene expression due to environmental variation. Ad...
