    Mutations are fundamental for adaptation, evolution and antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Our previous work shows that high-density bacterial populations have lower spontaneous mutation rates (Krašovec et al., Nature Commun., ; Krašovec et al., Plos Biology, ), a phenomenon dubbed density-associated mutation rate plasticity. We recently discovered that the...
