SUMMARY:Dov Stekel - Mathematical models for spread of antimicrobial resi

DESCRIPTION:(Zochonis Lecture Theatre D)\nJoin us for this seminar by Dov
  Stekel (Nottingham) as part of the Mathematics in the Life Sciences Ser
 ies.\n\nAbstract: This seminar will cover aspects of models for spread o
 f antimicrobial resistance in agriculture and the environment. We will s
 tart with models for spread of antimicrobial resistance in E. coli popul
 ations in the slurry tank of a dairy farm. The model incorporates three 
 antibiotics and two antimicrobial metals and detailed information on vet
 erinary antibiotic use. The model shows how the reduction in use of 3rd/
 4th generation cephalosporins effective. It is also used to demonstrate 
 the effectiveness of slurry isolation and storage prior to spreading on 
 land. We then use a similar model on co-selection of metal and antibioti
 c resistance to derive minimal coselective concentrations that could for
 m the basis for standards for metal concentrations in environments where
  antibiotics are also used.\n\nTo subscribe to the mailing list for this
