Abstract:
In this study, we investigate the interaction between antibiotic-sensitive and antibiotic-resistant bacteria within heterogeneous populations in the presence of antibiotics. Imaging shows that resistance to ampicillin is cooperative, with sensitive cells surviving in the presence of resistant cells at otherwise lethal concentrations.
Keywords:
antibiotic resistance; spatial heterogeneity; cooperation; resilience
