Item The chemostat with lateral gene transfer(2010-11) De Leenheer, Patrick; Dockery, Jack D.; Gedeon, Tomas; Young, T.We investigate the standard chemostat model when lateral gene transfer is taken into account. We will show that when the different genotypes have growth rate functions that are sufficiently close to a common growth rate function, and when the yields of the genotypes are sufficiently close to a common value, then the population evolves to a globally stable steady state, at which all genotypes coexist. These results can explain why the antibiotic-resistant strains persist in the pathogen population.
