Efflux pump gene amplifications bypass necessity of multiple target mutations for resistance against dual-targeting antibiotic
Abstract Antibiotics that have multiple cellular targets theoretically reduce the frequency of resistance evolution, but adaptive trajectories and resistance mechanisms against such antibiotics are understudied. Here we investigate these in methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) using ex...
