Epistasis between antibiotic resistance mutations drives the evolution of extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis
Background and objectives: Multidrug resistant (MDR) bacteria are a growing threat to global health. Studies focusing on single antibiotics have shown that drug resistance is often associated with a fitness cost in the absence of drug. However, little is known about the fitness cost associated with...
