Steering Evolution with Sequential Therapy to Prevent the Emergence of Bacterial Antibiotic Resistance

The increasing rate of antibiotic resistance and slowing discovery of novel antibiotic treatments presents a growing threat to public health. Here, we consider a simple model of evolution in asexually reproducing populations which considers adaptation as a biased random walk on a fitness landscape....
