Analysis of Single Bacterium Dynamics in a Stochastic Model of Toxin-Producing Bacteria

Abstract We stochastically model two bacterial populations which can produce toxins. propose to analyse this biological system by following the dynamics of a single bacterium during its lifetime, as well progeny. study lifespan bacterium, number divisions that undergoes, and toxin molecules it produces lifetime. also compute mean bacteria in genealogy original produced genealogy. illustrate applicability our methods considering Bacillus anthracis antibiotic treatment, making use vitro experimental data. quantify, for first time, production exploiting an assay A 16 R strain, make resulting parameterised techniques.
