• Risk Migration
  • In antimicrobial resistance, suppressing one pathogen with one antibiotic opens niches for resistant strains.

    This sourceShows that suppressing susceptible pathogens with an antibiotic opens niches for resistant strains.

    Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract

    Abstract implies antibiotic pressure selects for resistant strains, but does not state that suppressing one pathogen opens niches for resistant strains.

    “These findings suggest that the fitness costs of resistance will allow susceptible bacteria to outcompete resistant bacteria if the selective pressure from antibiotics is reduced.”

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
