摘要: Conjugation is an important mechanism involved in the transfer of resistance between bacteria. In this article a stochastic differential equation based model consisting continuous time state and discrete measurement introduced to growth conjugation two Enterococcus faecium strains rich exhaustible media. The contains new expression for substrate dependent rate. A maximum likelihood method used estimate parameters. Different models including different noise structure system observations are compared using likelihood-ratio test Akaike's information criterion. Experiments indicating on agar plates selecting transconjugants motivates introduction extended model, which plate described equation. This without conjugation. modelling approach can be applied generally when dynamical systems.
