Evolution of antibiotic resistance is linked to any genetic mechanism affecting bacterial duration of carriage
Understanding how changes in antibiotic consumption affect the prevalence of antibiotic resistance in bacterial pathogens is important for public health. In a number of bacterial species, including Streptococcus pneumoniae, the prevalence of resistance has remained relatively stable despite prolonge...
