Mutation rate and efflux response of bacteria exposed to a novel antimicrobial iodo-thiocyanate complex
Objectives: Antimicrobials, at sub-lethal concentrations, can act as selectors and promoters of resistance by increasing mutation rates. We measured the rate of Escherichia coli mutation from levofloxacin (LVX) sensitivity to resistance when it was grown under the near-lethal challenge of the novel...
