Sub-inhibitory antibiotic treatment selects for enhanced metabolic efficiency
ABSTRACTBacterial growth and metabolic rates are often closely related. However, under antibiotic selection, a paradox in this relationship arises: antibiotic efficacy decreases when bacteria are metabolically dormant, yet antibiotics select for resistant cells that grow fastest during treatment. Th...
