Metabolic Compensation of Fitness Costs Is a General Outcome for Antibiotic-Resistant <italic toggle="yes">Pseudomonas aeruginosa</italic> Mutants Overexpressing Efflux Pumps
ABSTRACT It is generally assumed that the acquisition of antibiotic resistance is associated with a fitness cost. We have shown that overexpression of the MexEF-OprN efflux pump does not decrease the fitness of a resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain compared to its wild-type counterpart. This lac...
