--- _id: '1332' abstract: - lang: eng 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. acknowledgement: This work was partially supported by US National Institutes of Health grant R01-GM081617, Israeli Centers of Research Excellence I-CORE Program ISF Grant No. 152/11, and the European Research Council FP7 ERC Grant 281891. article_number: '10333' author: - first_name: Remy P full_name: Chait, Remy P id: 3464AE84-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Chait orcid: 0000-0003-0876-3187 - first_name: Adam full_name: Palmer, Adam last_name: Palmer - first_name: Idan full_name: Yelin, Idan last_name: Yelin - first_name: Roy full_name: Kishony, Roy last_name: Kishony citation: ama: Chait RP, Palmer A, Yelin I, Kishony R.
