Journal ArticleDOI

β-lactam antibiotics promote bacterial mutagenesis via an RpoS-mediated reduction in replication fidelity

TL;DR: It is shown that mutagenesis induced by subinhibitory concentrations of antibiotics is a genetically controlled process that should be taken into consideration for the development of more efficient antimicrobial therapeutic strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antibiotics and antibiotic resistance: a bitter fight against evolution.

TL;DR: The state of knowledge on antibiotics as promoters of antibiotic resistance is reviewed, finding that under certain environmental conditions, subinhibitory concentrations of antimicrobials may increase the mutagenic effect of antibiotics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antimicrobials as promoters of genetic variation

TL;DR: Recent advances concerning the selection of naturally occurring resistant variants and horizontal gene transfer processes and their relevance in the field of antibiotic resistance are reviewed and discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular Mechanisms and Clinical Impact of Acquired and Intrinsic Fosfomycin Resistance

TL;DR: The mechanism of action and molecular mechanisms for the development of fosfomycin resistance, including the modification of the antibiotic target, reduced antibiotic uptake and antibiotic inactivation are analysed and the role of each pathway in clinical isolates is described.
