Host adaptation and convergent evolution increases antibiotic resistance without loss of virulence in a major human pathogen

As human population density and antibiotic exposure increase, specialised bacterial subtypes have begun to emerge. Arising among species that are common commensals and infrequent pathogens, antibiotic-resistant ‘high-risk clones’ have evolved to better survive in the modern human. Here, we show that...
