Emergence and spread of bacteria exhibiting resistance to multidrug have become serious problems. Analysis of evolution process of multidrug-resistance using experimental evolution revealed that multidrug-resistant bacteria showed cross-resistance and hypersensitivity to other classes of antibiotics. In this study, whole-genome resequencing of resistant bacteria revealed the molecular mechanism underlying hypersensitivity and combination of two antibiotics showing hypersensitivity to each other could prevent the development of antibiotic resistance.
