A model of optimal dosing of antibiotic treatment in biofilm
Biofilms are heterogeneous matrix enclosed micro-colonies ofbacteria mostly found on moist surfaces. Biofilm formation is theprimary cause of several persistent infections found in humans. Wederive a mathematical model of biofilm and surrounding fluiddynamics to investigate the effect of a periodic...
