Dominant resistance and negative epistasis can limit the co-selection of de novo resistance mutations and antibiotic resistance genes
The authors study the interactions between chromosomal mutations and horizontally acquired genes in the evolution of antibiotic resistance in experimental evolution assays. They identify constraints that may allow better prediction and control of antibiotic resistance evolution.
