The Population Genetics of Antibiotic Resistance
Abstract
Mathematical models are used to ascertain the relationship between the incidence of antibiotic treatment and the frequency of resistant bacteria in the commensal flora of human hosts, as well as the rates at which these frequencies would decline following a cessation of antibiotic use. Recent studies of the population biology of plasmid-encoded and chromosomal antibiotic resistance are reviewed for estimates of the parameters of these models and to evaluate other factors contributing to the fate of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in human hosts. The implications of these theoretical and empirical results to the future of antibacterial chemotherapy are discussed.

“At this point, it seems unlikely that the antibiotics with waning efficacy because of resistance will be replaced at an adequate rate to compensate for their loss from our arsenal [24].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
