Reposting because I'm still so thrilled to have this work out and open access for anyone to view. Still so much work to do to combat #AMR – identifying the evolutionary mechanisms by which bacterial pathogens acquire drug resistance will prove to be an important step toward this effort!
I’m excited to share our research published today with @springernature.com in @natcomms.nature.com! Here, we find that oxidative stress generated by the host immune system can prime tuberculosis to rapidly evolve antibiotic resistance, revealing how resistance may emerge before treatment #TB #AMR
