Overall, mutants conferring escape from multiple sera (>20% of the sera tested) had strong fitness costs (average fitness of 0.28 ± 0.11), while those conferring escape from only a few sera (<20% of the sera tested) were less deleterious (average fitness of 0.73 ± 0.35), although this difference did not reach statistical significance ( p = 0.08 by a two-tail t-test).
