Escape mutations circumvent a tradeoff between resistance to a beta-lactam and resistance to a beta-lactamase inhibitor

Beta-lactam antibiotics and beta-lactamase inhibitors compete for the same binding site on beta-lactamases; thus, mutations that increase beta-lactamase activity likely increase also susceptibility to the inhibitor. Here, Russ et al. identify rare mutations in the ampC beta-lactamase gene that escap...
