Quantifying Variation in Bacterial Reproductive Fitness: a High-Throughput Method

Reproductive fitness of bacteria is a major factor in the evolution and persistence of antimicrobial resistance and may play an important role as a pathogen factor in severe infections. With a computational approach to quantify fitness in bacteria growing competitively on agar plates, our...
