This study shows that chromosomal mutations in Escherichia coli enhance resistance to carbapenems when combined with plasmid-encoded OXA-48, despite not compensating for plasmid fitness costs.

This study identifies a mutation rate increase in a multi-azole resistant Aspergillus fumigatus clade, linking it to rapid antifungal resistance evolution.

This study compares the ecological effects of compensatory mutations on plasmids and chromosomes, finding that chromosomal mutations are more effective in reducing plasmid fitness costs and promoting plasmid spread.
