N2 - This paper reports the design, fabrication and characterization of a multiwell microfluidic device for investigating the response of Mycobacterium to various environmental conditions. Our results reveal Mycobacterium is capable of avoiding fatal antibiotics, independent of the availability of nutrition, by modulating the migratory patterns, underscoring an environmental microbiology factor on the emergence of antibiotic resistance.
