Popis: Resistance to one antibiotic can in some cases increase susceptibility to other antibiotics. Here, Podnecky et al. study these collateral responses in E. coli clinical isolates and show that efflux-related resistance mechanisms and relative fitness of the strains are principal contributors to this phenomenon.
