Dissertation title: "A Mathematical Model of Potential Treatment Strategies Aimed at Combating the Emergence of In-Host Antibiotic Resistance"

This project used mathematical techniques to model the emergence of in-host antibiotic resistance and investigate the possibility of targeting bacterial virulence in order to overcome this problem. Specifically, anti-adhesive therapy, based on principles of competitive inhibition, was modelled and analysed, demonstrating its potential as an effective prophylaxis against antibiotic resistant bacteria.
