 Title:What other factors select on antibiotic resistance?

Abstract: While the human use of antibiotics does contribute to the evolution of resistance, the epidemiology of resistance we observe is inconsistent with it being the sole, or potentially even the primary, driver of resistance evolution. So what else is selecting on resistance? I will propose some possibilities, show how to discover phages that select against both resistance and the horizontal transmission of resistance, and show how evolutionary insight can teach us how to build better diagnostics.
