Enligt en erkänd hypotes, mutant selection window hypothesis, uppstår och upprätthålls antibiotikaresistens hos bakterier endast då antibiotikakoncentrationerna ligger över minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC)-värdet för en känslig, omuterad population. Det här skulle innebära att de låga antibiotikakoncentrationer man finner i miljön inte borde bidra till att upprätthålla resistens. Redan subinhibitoriska antibiotikakoncentrationer har dock visat sig ha effekt på bakterier genom att t.ex. öka mutationsfrekvensen hos bakterier, selektera för resistenta mutanter och ge upphov till nya sådana. Syftet med den här studien var att undersöka om en selektion vid låga antibiotikakoncentrationer sker också in vivo.
