VERA: agent-based modeling transmission of antibiotic resistance between human pathogens and gut microbiota

Abstract excerpt

The resistance of bacterial pathogens to antibiotics is one of the most important issues of the modern health care. The human microbiota can accumulate resistance determinants and transfer them to pathogenic microflora by means of horizontal gene transfer (HGT). Thus, at the moment it is important to develop methods of prediction and monitoring of antibiotics resistance in human population. We represent the agent-...
