Intermediate Levels of Antibiotics May Increase Diversity of Colony Size Phenotype in Bacteria
Antibiotics select for resistant bacteria whose existence and emergence is more likely in populations with high phenotypic and genetic diversity. Identifying the mechanisms that generate this diversity can thus have clinical consequences for drug-resistant pathogens. We show here that intermediate l...
