Development of a Computational Model of Abscess Formation

Development of a Computational Model of Abscess Formation

In some bacterial infections, the immune system cannot eliminate the invading pathogen. In these cases, the invading pathogen is successful in establishing a favorable environment to survive and persist in the host organism. For example, S. aureus bacteria survive in organ tissues employing a set of...
