Abstract:Antimicrobial heteroresistance describes the phenomenon of antimicrobial resistance in only a subpopulation of a bacterial culture. It is usually believed to represent a selectively advantageous strategy promoting bacterial adaptation. Heteroresistance is common in human pathogens, yet often missed during diagnosis, potentially leading to treatment failures. To date, the exact characteristics and evolutionary benefits of heteroresistance are unexplored for most pathogens, including the high-risk pathogenPseudo… Show more
