Antibiotic resistance is an important public health issue, and vast resources are invested in
researching new ways to fight it. Recent experimental works have shown that resistance to some antibiotics
can result in increased susceptibility to others, namely induce cross-sensitivity. This phenomenon could be utilized
to increase efficiency of antibiotic treatment strategies that minimize resistance. However, as conditions
in experimental settings and in the clinic may differ substantially, the implications of cross-sensitivity for clinical
settings are not guaranteed and should be examined.
