A mathematical model of quorum quenching in biofilm colonies and its potential role as an adjuvant for antibiotic treatment
We extend a previously presented mesoscopic (i.e. colony scale) mathematical model of the reaction of bacterial biofilms to antibiotics. In that earlier model, exposure to antibiotics evokes two responses: inactivation as the antibiotics kill the bacteria, and inducing a quorum sensing based stress...
