文摘This paper presents a compartmental model for bacterial infections in a population distributed over a network of individuals.Within each node,individuals interact,bacteria can be transmitted and the disease may be spread;moreover,the acquisition of bacterial antibiotic resistance is considered.In addition,nodes are connected through weighted edges,and consequently individuals from different nodes may interact.As a result,the infection may be propagated over the network.We perform an analysis on this propagation as well as numerical simulations in order to illustrate the validity of the model.
