Co-occurrence of resistance genes to antibiotics, biocides and metals reveals novel insights into their co-selection potential (2015, background): “cing the number of less important genes to keep genome size down [57].”
The Classification and Evolution of Bacterial Cross-Feeding (2019, background): “A strongly related concept is streamlining theory, the idea that selection can favour the “minimisation of cell size and complexity” (Giovannoni et al., 2014; Mas et al., 2016).”
Environmental factors influencing the development and spread of antibiotic resistance (2017, positive): “…supports that this is the case, and that the cost associated with carrying resistance genes is almost negligible unless the niche is extremely resource-poor, with genome streamlining as a result (Yooseph et al. 2010; Giovannoni, Cameron Thrash and Temperton 2014; Bengtsson-Palme et al. 2014a).”
