Quantifying the impact of treatment history on plasmid-mediated resistance evolution in human gut microbiota
30 Oct 2019
Abstract excerpt
To understand how antibiotic use affects the risk of a resistant infection, we present a computational model of the population dynamics of gut microbiota including antibiotic resistance-conferring plasmids. We then describe how this model is parameterized based on published microbiota data. Finally, we investigate how treatment history affects the prevalence of resistance among opportunistic enterobacterial...
