Tackling antibiotic resistance necessitates deep understanding of how resource competition
within and between species modulates the fitness of resistant microbes. Recent advances in …

Bacteria are single-celled organisms, but the survival of microbial communities relies on
complex dynamics at the molecular, cellular, and ecosystem scales. Antibiotic resistance, in …

The spread of antibiotic resistance, a major threat to human health, is poorly understood.
Simple population-level models of bacterial transmission predict that above a certain rate of …

The legacy of the use and misuse of antibiotics in recent decades has left us with a global
public health crisis: antibiotic-resistant bacteria are on the rise, making it harder to treat …

Accumulating evidence suggests that the response of bacteria to antibiotics is significantly
affected by the presence of other interacting microbes. These interactions are not typically …

Bacteria evolve resistance to antibiotics by a multitude of mechanisms. A central, yet
unsolved question is how resistance evolution affects cell growth at different drug levels …

Bacteria are social organisms that commonly live in dense communities surrounded by a
multitude of other species. The competitive and cooperative interactions between these …

Recent research has demonstrated that selection for antibiotic resistance occurs at very low
antibiotic concentrations in single-species experiments, but the relevance of these findings …

Microbes are typically surrounded by different strains and species with whom they compete
for scarce nutrients and limited space. Given such challenging living conditions, microbes …

In the struggle with antibiotic resistance, we are losing. There is now a serious threat of
moving into a postantibiotic world. High levels of resistance, in terms of both frequency and …
