    Snippet: We then hypothesized that, if DNA breaks contribute to the cost of resistance, enhancing DNA repair should reduce the cost. The RNA polymerase-binding transcription factor DksA has been recently shown to be involved in the transcription-coupled repair of DNA breaks (53, 54) . Thus, we hypothesize that overexpression of dksA should decrease the cost of resistance. As hypothesized, overproduction of DksA increases the fitness of the double resistan.....
    Document: We then hypothesized that, if DNA breaks contribute to the cost of resistance, enhancing DNA repair should reduce the cost.

Thus, we hypothesize that overexpression of dksA should decrease the cost of resistance. As hypothesized, overproduction of DksA increases the fitness of the double resistant RpsL K43N RpoB H526Y , but not that of sensitive bacteria ( Figure S2A ), indicating that the relationship between DNA breaks and the fitness cost of antibiotic resistance is, indeed, causal.
