I think you need to look into something known as a "fluctuation assay". Basically a microbiologist grows a batch of bacteria from a single cell, for some number of generations, then puts them on a petri dish under a low dosage of antibiotics, in order to kill those which have not evolved some immunity during previous generations.
The survival percentage has been shown to correlate with genetic mutation rate of the bacteria strain in question, which was tested by directly sequencing the genomes.
If they didn't correlate that would be a falsification of evolution.
