A MODEL FOR STREP THROAT INFECTION: DYNAMICS OF CONTINGENCY GENE SELECTION IN AN INFECTED HOST

An ordinary differential equations model for strep throat infection is constructed to compute the bacterial population densities of genotype combinations with binary switches in contingency genes. Theoretical analysis for the existence of solutions and the stability of the steady states is first pre...
