A mathematical model of antibiotic resistance gene flow from livestock and spread amongst humans
2022-03-18
Abstract excerpt
The evolution and spread of antibiotic resistance poses a major threat to human health. The high level of antibiotic use in the rearing of livestock is contributing to the origin and persistence of antibiotic resistance amongst humans. Understanding how resistance genes spread from livestock to humans and investigating the impact of managing antibiotic use in livestock will be important for guiding strategies to r...
