Antibiotic resistance is often studied in vitro, limiting the understanding of in vivo mechanisms that affect antibiotic treatment. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Rodrigues et al. show that specific mutations allow bacteria to invade intestinal cells in a mouse model, thereby evading antibiotic treatment.
