Antibiotic cycling versus mixing: The difficulty of using mathematicalmodels to definitively quantify their relative merits
We ask the question Which antibiotic deployment protocols select best against drug-resistant microbes: mixing or periodic cycling? and demonstrate that the statistical distribution of the performances of both sets of protocols, mixing and periodic cycling, must have overlapping supports. In other w...
