Evolutionary Pathways to Antibiotic Resistance

Explore the complex topic of evolutionary pathways leading to antibiotic resistance in this 31-minute lecture by Joachim Krug from the Institute for Biological Physics at the University of Cologne. Delve into the mechanisms and processes that contribute to the development of drug-resistant bacteria, gaining insights into one of the most pressing challenges in modern medicine. Examine the evolutionary strategies employed by microorganisms to adapt and survive in the presence of antibiotics, and understand the implications for public health and future treatment options.
