Ribosomal mutations promote the evolution of antibiotic resistance in a multidrug environment

Ribosomal mutations promote the evolution of antibiotic resistance in a multidrug environment

Antibiotic resistance arising via chromosomal mutations is typically specific to a particular antibiotic or class of antibiotics. We have identified mutations in genes encoding ribosomal components in Mycobacterium smegmatis that confer resistance to several structurally and mechanistically unrelate...
