Antibiotic Minimal Selective Concentrations and Fitness Costs during Biofilm and Planktonic Growth

ABSTRACT The use and misuse of antibiotics have resulted in the selection of difficult-to-treat resistant bacteria. Two key parameters that influence the selection of resistant bacteria are the minimal selective concentration (MSC) and the fitness cost of resistance, both of which have been measured...
