The fast track to multidrug resistance
Abstract
In this issue of Molecular Cell, Kohanski et al. (2010) demonstrate that even subinhibitory concentrations of bactericidal antibiotics result in the generation of reactive oxygen species, leading to an increase in mutation rate and the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacterial strains.
