Experimental system
Resistance to fosfomycin in P. aeruginosa arises from loss-of-function of transporter

Adaptive dynamics in bacteria can be complex
Experimental evolution data
2,000-generations evolution of >100 E. coli populations to low-resource, high-temperature conditions
Olivier et al (2012) Science
Experimental evolution data
FosR appeared early, and typically stayed at low frequency
Experimental evolution data
Dynamics suggesting multiple, unsuccesful sweeps
● Focusing on mutations ≥2% reveals huge divergence
● It highlights the role of historical contingency
