The tradeoffs between persistence and mutation rates at sub-inhibitory antibiotic concentrations in Staphylococcus aureus by Alysha S. Ismail, Brandon A. Berryhill, Teresa Gil-Gil, Joshua A. Manuel, Andrew P. Smith, Fernando Baquero, Bruce R. Levin

“…However, within a treated patient, spatial and physiological heterogeneity promotes antibiotic gradients such that the concentration of antibiotics at specific sites is below the minimum needed to inhibit bacterial growth. Here, we investigate the effects of sub-inhibitory antibiotic concentrations on three parameters central to bacterial infection and the success of antibiotic treatment, using in vitro experiments with Staphylococcus aureus and mathematical and computer-simulation models. …”
