The evolution of antibiotic susceptibility and resistance during the formation of Escherichia coli biofilms in the absence of antibiotics

BACKGROUND: Explanations for bacterial biofilm persistence during antibiotic treatment typically depend on non-genetic mechanisms, and rarely consider the contribution of evolutionary processes. RESULTS: Using Escherichia coli biofilms, we demonstrate that heritable variation for broad-spectrum anti...
