The SOS response increases bacterial fitness, but not evolvability, under a sublethal dose of antibiotic

Exposure to antibiotics induces the expression of mutagenic bacterial stress–response pathways, but the evolutionary benefits of these responses remain unclear. One possibility is that stress–response pathways provide a short-term advantage by protecting bacteria against the toxic effects of antibio...
