A mathematical model of plasmid-carried antibiotic resistance transmission in two types of cells

Antibiotic resistance is a significant public health problem. When resistance genes are being carried on plasmids, the spread can be greatly accelerated. In this paper, the transmission of antibiotic resistance in two types of cells is discussed. A mathematical model is established to describe the d...
