Mutation Frequencies and Antibiotic Resistance

Year: 2000

Type: article

Abstract: Antibiotic resistance can be achieved by horizontal acquisition of resistance genes (carried by plasmids or transposons), by recombination of foreign DNA into the chromosome, or by mutations in different chromosomal loci ([15][1]). In studies of molecular evolutionary biology, the term mutation rate
