A validated computational model of the spread of an antibiotic resistant pathogens in a hospital, with and without our diagnostic tool for quickly identifying it

Project description

Build status

Warwick iGEM computational modelling

A repository containing code for custom computational modelling components within the 2021 Warwick team iGEM project.

We used Python to implement a discrete time, stochastic, compartmental model of the spread of antibiotic resistant pathogens through a population.

Model abstract

We propose a validated computational model of the spread of an antibiotic resistant pathogens in a hospital, with and without our diagnostic tool for quickly identifying it, and show that in a relevant scenario it reduces the presence of antibiotic resistant pathogens in our selected scenario, showing our product is beneficial in the real-world.
