Toward a universal model for spatially structured populations
Loïc Marrec, Irene Lamberti, Anne-Florence Bitbol
A key question in evolution is how likely a mutant is to take over. This depends on natural selection and on stochastic fluctuations. Population spatial structure can impact mutant…
Adapt or perish: Evolutionary rescue in a gradually deteriorating environment
Loïc Marrec, Anne-Florence Bitbol
We investigate the evolutionary rescue of a microbial population in a gradually deteriorating environment, through a combination of analytical calculations and stochastic simulatio…
Resist or perish: fate of a microbial population subjected to a periodic presence of antimicrobial
Loïc Marrec, Anne-Florence Bitbol
The evolution of antimicrobial resistance can be strongly affected by variations of antimicrobial concentration. Here, we study the impact of periodic alternations of absence and p…
Antibody-mediated cross-linking of gut bacteria hinders the spread of antibiotic resistance
Florence Bansept, Loïc Marrec, Anne-Florence Bitbol +1
The body is home to a diverse microbiota, mainly in the gut. Resistant bacteria are selected for by antibiotic treatments, and once resistance becomes widespread in a population of…
