| Abstract |
The evolution of bacterial resistance to antibiotics by mutation within the genome (as distinct from horizontal gene transfer of new material into a genome) could occur in a single step but is usually a multistep process. Resistance evolution can be studied in laboratory environments by serial passage of bacteria in liquid culture or on agar, with selection at constant, or varying, concentrations of drug. Whole genome sequencing can be used to make an initial analysis of the evolved mutants. The trajectory of evolution can be determined by sequence analysis of strains from intermediate steps in the evolution, complemented by phenotypic analysis of genetically reconstructed isogenic strains that recapitulate the intermediate steps in the evolution. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 January 2018.
All research outputs
#13,062,324
of 23,015,156 outputs
Outputs from Methods in molecular biology
#3,319
of 13,165 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#207,201
of 442,344 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Methods in molecular biology
#283
of 1,498 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,015,156 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,165 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.4. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 442,344 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 52% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1,498 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 79% of its contemporaries.
