Abstract
ROMERO L, JHOANA P. and IBARGUEN MONDRAGON, EDUARDO. Sobre la resistencia bacteriana hacia antibióticos de acción bactericida y bacteriostática. Integración - UIS [online]. 2014, vol.32, n.1, pp.101-116. ISSN 0120-419X.
In this work we formulate a simple mathematical model that describes the population dynamics of bacteria exposed simultaneously to multiple bactericidal and bacteriostatic antibiotics, assuming that resistance is acquired through mutations due to antibiotic exposure. Qualitative analysis reveals the existence of a free-bacteria equilibrium, resistant-bacteria equilibrium and an endemic equilibrium where both bacteria coexist
Keywords : Equilibrium solutions; bacterial resistance; antibiotics.
