Where this comes from

Abstract

Antibiotic tolerance enables microorganisms to survive the exposure to antibiotics and serves as a precursor to antibiotic resistance. In a recent issue of Nature Microbiology, Liu et al. (2021) describe that high-fat-diet-induced changes in the intestinal microbiome and metabolome facilitate the development of antibiotic tolerance by bacterial pathogens.
