The threat to human health posed by antibiotic resistance is of growing concern. Many commensal and pathogenic organisms have developed well established newer antibiotics. major selection pressure driving changes in the frequency volume drug use. However, establishing a quantitative relationship between use has proved difficult. Using population genetic methods epidemiological observations, we report an analysis influence selective imposed on temporal resistance. Analytical expressions are...

Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) recently have emerged as a nosocomial pathogen especially in intensive-care units (ICUs) worldwide. Transmission via the hands of health-care workers is an important determinant spread and persistence VRE-endemic ICU. We describe transmission pathogens by using micro-epidemiological framework based on dynamics vector-borne diseases. By concept basic reproductive number, R 0 , defined average number secondary cases generated one primary case, we show...

Little is known about the amount of cross-transmission, risk factors for infection, and relative effectiveness infection control procedures when methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) occurs at highly endemic levels in intensive care units. A cohort study was done to identify exposures associated with cases that likely were result cross-transmission (i.e., occurring clusters indistinguishable MRSA macrorestriction profiles). Fitting a simple stochastic model ascertained data...

The evolution of a cosmic-string network is examined in terms two length scales: $\ensuremath{\xi}$, related to the long-string density, and persistence along left- or right-moving string, respectively. Previous work extended by allowing for dependence some parameters on these scales. changes have dramatic effects. As before an important role played parameter $q$ describing relative kinkiness loop as compared section string same length. We show that scaling solutions, which both...
