Bypass of genetic constraints during mutator evolution to antibiotic resistance.
Genetic constraints can block many mutational pathways to optimal genotypes in real fitness landscapes, yet the extent to which this can limit evolution remains to be determined. Interestingly, mutator bacteria elevate only specific types of mutations, and therefore could be very sensitive to genetic constraints. Testing this possibility is not only clinically relevant, but can also inform abou...
متن کاملMutational Spectrum Drives the Rise of Mutator Bacteria
Understanding how mutator strains emerge in bacterial populations is relevant both to evolutionary theory and to reduce the threat they pose in clinical settings. The rise of mutator alleles is understood as a result of their hitchhiking with linked beneficial mutations, although the factors that govern this process remain unclear. A prominent but underappreciated fact is that each mutator alle...
متن کاملEffects of antibiotic resistance alleles on bacterial evolutionary responses to viral parasites
Antibiotic resistance has wide-ranging effects on bacterial phenotypes and evolution. However, the influence of antibiotic resistance on bacterial responses to parasitic viruses remains unclear, despite the ubiquity of such viruses in nature and current interest in therapeutic applications. We experimentally investigated this by exposing various Escherichia coli genotypes, including eight antib...
متن کاملSide e¡ects ofantibiotics ongenetic variability
In recent years, there has been accumulating evidence that antibiotics, besides their antimicrobial action, potentially have a number of undesired side effects that can, at least in some cases, promote genetic variability of bacteria. In addition to resistant variants, antibiotics have also been shown to select mutator clones, thus stimulating evolution towards further resistance. Furthermore, ...
متن کاملAntibiotic resistance properties and molecular characterization of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains from patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) referred to Gholhak Pathobiology Laboratory in Tehran city during 2016-2018
Background and Objectives: Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from the lungs of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients are often heterogeneous and antibiotic resistant strains. Our work therefore focused on the antibiotic resistance properties of these P. aeruginosa strains isolated from Iranian patients, as well as the genetic diversity analysis by a repetitive-element-based molecular assay. Methods: This ...
