The evolution of antimicrobial peptide resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa is shaped by strong epistatic interactions

Colistin is an antibiotic used in the treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in cystic fibrosis patients. Here, Jochumsen et al. reconstruct the pathways for the molecular evolution of colistin resistance in P. aeruginosaand show that the number of pathways is highly constrained by interacti...
