Alternating antibiotic treatments constrain evolutionary paths to multidrug resistance.
Alternating antibiotic therapy, in which pairs of drugs are cycled during treatment, has been suggested as a means to inhibit the evolution of de novo resistance while avoiding the toxicity associated with more traditional combination therapy. However, it remains unclear under which conditions and by what means such alternating treatments impede the evolution of resistance. Here, we tracked mul...
متن کاملPacking paths of length at least two
We give a simple proof for Kaneko’s theorem which gives a su2cient and necessary condition for the existence of vertex disjoint paths in a graph, each of length at least two, that altogether cover all vertices of the original graph. Moreover we generalize this theorem and give a formula for the maximum number of vertices that can be covered by such a path system. c © 2004 Elsevier B.V. All righ...
متن کاملInvestigating Evolutionary Lines of Least Resistance Using the Inverse Protein-Folding Problem
We present a polynomial time algorithm for estimating optimal HP sequences that fold to a specified target protein conformation based on Sun et al's Grand Canonical (GC) model. Application of the algorithm to related proteins taken from the PDB allows us to explore the nature of the protein genotype:phenotype map. Results suggest: (1) that the GC model captures important biological aspects of t...
متن کاملFinding Good Paths: Applications of Least Cost Caloric Path Computations
As you walk around during your daily life, you commonly make path finding decisions based on the world around you. For example, when you are walking in the outdoors, you take the path of least resistance over a terrain. We present two applications which demonstrate the importance of using the least cost caloric cost path computation in two different domain settings. One application uses the pop...
متن کاملAlternative Evolutionary Paths to Bacterial Antibiotic Resistance Cause Distinct Collateral Effects
When bacteria evolve resistance against a particular antibiotic, they may simultaneously gain increased sensitivity against a second one. Such collateral sensitivity may be exploited to develop novel, sustainable antibiotic treatment strategies aimed at containing the current, dramatic spread of drug resistance. To date, the presence and molecular basis of collateral sensitivity has only been s...
