Fractional-order Mathematical Modeling of Bacterial Competition with Theraphy of Multiple Antibiotics

Abstract

In this study, a mathematical model in form fractional-order differential equations (FDE) system identifying population dynamics in two species bacteria struggling one another and exposed to multiple antibiotics simultaneously, was suggested. Stability analysis of the equilibrium points of the proposed model was also carried out. Additionally, the results of the analysis have promoted by numerical simulations.

Keywords

• Fractional-order differential equation,Stability analysis,Numerical simulation
