Beta-lactamase dependent and independent evolutionary paths to high-level ampicillin resistance [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe incidence of beta-lactam resistance among clinical isolates is a major health concern. A key method to study the emergence of antibiotic resistance is adaptive laboratory evolution. However, in the case of the beta-lactam ampicillin, bacteria evolved
