To make sense of this stochasticity, we introduced the Collateral Response Score, a probabilistic framework for forecasting how prior treatment history shapes future drug options.

The answer: evolution doesn’t just increase vancomycin resistance — it reshapes the bacterium’s response to the very drugs we’d normally switch to next. Some lineages become collaterally sensitive, while others become collaterally resistant, depending on the evolutionary path they take.

Thrilled to share our paper that just came out in PNAS!

We asked a deceptively simple question: What happens when S. aureus adapts to vancomycin, a critical first-line antibiotic?
