Molecular surveillance of daptomycin DAP-resistant #StaphylococcusAureus showed

🔵DAP-Resistance-Acquisition was linked to antiseptic rather than systemic antibiotic wound-treatment

🔵Resistance developed in all affected patients individually

Sconfitta l'antibiotico resistenza con l'endolisina. Scoperta una nuova arma contro i batteri resistenti agli antibiotici. Una nuova arma contro le infezioni batteriche: la fine dell’antibiotico-resistenza? Un team internazionale di scienziati ha scoperto una nuova arma in grado di uccidere lo Staphylococcus aureus.

#NewPaper -- we use #ExperimentalEvolution to show:
-- gaining a tetracycline efflux pump by HGT is super costly for Staph aureus in low oxygen environments
-- treatment with tetracyclines prevents evolutionary adaptation to low oxygen (via gyrB mutation)

Possibly explains why tetracyclines remain useful treatments for Staph aureus infections that are often characterised by #hypoxia
