摘要: This paper discusses a simple mathematical model to describe the spread of Streptococcus pneumoniae. We suppose that transmission bacterium is determined by multi-locus sequence type. The includes vaccination and designed examine what happens in vaccinated population if MLSTs can exist as both vaccine non serotypes with capsular switching possible from former latter. start off discussion pneumoniae review previous work. propose two types then perform an equilibrium (global) stability analysis on model. show general there are only three equilibria, carriage-free carriage equilibria. If effective reproduction number [R_e] less than or equal one, will die out. > 1, tend corresponding type largest parameter. In case where have same parameter line Provided initially present time progresses approach point this line. results generalize many competing types. Simulations realistic values confirm analytical results.
