Implications of stress-induced genetic variation for minimizing multidrug resistance in bacteria
BACKGROUND: Antibiotic resistance in bacterial infections is a growing threat to public health. Recent evidence shows that when exposed to stressful conditions, some bacteria perform higher rates of horizontal gene transfer and mutation, and thus acquire antibiotic resistance more rapidly. METHODS:...
