Beams, Alexander | Implications of antibiotic use for co-infections when a fitness trade-off for resistance is present | How much does indiscriminate antibiotic use promote the spread of antibiotic-resistant infections in a population? Assuming a fitness trade-off for resistance exists, it is possible for an antibiotic-vulnerable strain to outlast a resistant type within an untreated host carrying both. That means pru... | Drug resistance in microorganisms -- Mathematical models Co-infections | 2015 |
