Hit bugs hard, or take a more gentle approach? How can we overcome the threat of antibiotic resistance?

Dr Caroline Colijn, from the Department of Mathematics, has co-authored a paper with Dr Ted Cohen from Yale University entitled ‘How competition governs whether moderate or aggressive treatment minimizes antibiotic resistance’, which explores how we can best approach the problem of antibiotic resistance. Read the paper on eLife.
