I am trying to teach students about the evolution of antibiotic resistance
in organisms like E. coli. I was planning on exposing the E. coli to
increasing dosages of antibiotics like amp and tet. I could use rifampicin
but I think it would show resistance much too easily.
Does anybody have any experience in this sort of lab activity?
Any suggestions, comments would be appreciated.
