ALT Predicted changes in density of antibiotic-exposed bacteria. To illustrate the properties of this model, we explore only the strong bactericidal antibiotic condition (Condition III). Condition III represents a strong bactericidal antibiotic with vMIN = 5.0. Parameters used for these simulations are e?=?5?�?10?7??g/per cell, vMAX = 1.2 per cell per hour, ??=?1, k?=?1, MIC?=?1.0. Changes in the viable density of bacteria anticipated from the Hill function model for different concentrations of the antibiotic, respectively, 0 to 1.2 times MIC. In these numerical solutions to equations 2 to 4, we assume the concentration of the limiting resource (r) is 1,000 when the bacteria are first introduced to the antibiotic and the concentration of the antibiotic does not decay, da?=?0.
