Quantifying the effects of antibiotic resistance and within-host competition on strain fitness in Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Competition plays a key role in shaping the structure and diversity of bacterial populations. In many clinically important bacterial species, strains compete at multiple scales: at the between-host scale for new hosts to colonise, and at the within-host scale during co-colonisation. Characterising t...
