Increased Antibiotic Resistance Post-exposure to Sub-inhibitory Concentrations is Independent of Capsular Polysaccharide Production in Escherichia coli

Previous experiments have shown that pretreatment of Escherichia coli with sub-lethal doses of antibiotic resulted in a measurable increase in capsule production and resistance upon secondary exposure. Whether this increase in capsule was directly implicated in antibiotic resista...
