Higher levels of antibiotic resistance are less competitive: the hidden ecological cost of no-metabolic cost resistance

Miles T. Wetherington, Raymond Copeland, Christopher Zhang…·Peter J. Yunker

This study shows that highly antibiotic-resistant bacteria can inadvertently help susceptible strains survive, revealing an ecological cost to extreme resistance that limits its spread.
