Spatial drug asymmetry modulates phenotypic diversity-migration relationships under resistance evolution

Z Hu, Y Wu, KB Wood - bioRxiv, 2024 - biorxiv.org
At long timescales, resistant phenotypes will emerge and be selected within the bacterial
population as an evolutionary response to drug exposure. This phenomenon reduces the …
