text: Antibiotic-sensitive and -resistant bacteria coexist in natural environments
with low, if detectable, antibiotic concentrations. Except possibly around localized
antibiotic sources, where resistance can provide a strong advantage, bacterial
fitness is dominated by stresses unaffected by resistance to the antibiotic. How
do such mixed and heterogeneous conditions influence the selective advantage or
disadvantage of antibiotic resistance? Here we find that sub-inhibitory levels
of tetracyclines potentiate selection for or against tetracycline resistance around
localized sources of almost any toxin or stress. Furthermore, certain stresses
generate alternating rings of selection for and against resistance around a localized
source of the antibiotic. In these conditions, localized antibiotic sources, even
at high strengths, can actually produce a net selection against resistance to
the antibiotic. Our results show that interactions between the effects of an antibiotic
and other stresses in inhomogeneous environments can generate pervasive, complex
patterns of selection both for and against antibiotic resistance.
