Simplifying and reducing complex models
Several strategies for reducing the complexity of biologically based models are presented. These methods are primarily based on averaging either over instances or time. In either case, the resulting equations can be directly connected to the original model but often times lead to a much simpler system of equations.
متن کاملViable Compositional Analysis of an Eleven Species Oral Polymicrobial Biofilm
PURPOSE Polymicrobial biofilms are abundant in clinical disease, particularly within the oral cavity. Creating complex biofilm models that recapitulate the polymicrobiality of oral disease are important in the development of new chemotherapeutic agents. In order to do this accurately we require the ability to undertake compositional analysis, in addition to determine individual cell viability, ...
متن کاملEffect of azithromycin on a red complex polymicrobial biofilm
Azithromycin has recently gained popularity for the treatment of periodontal disease, despite sparse literature supporting efficiency in treating periodontal bacterial biofilms. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of azithromycin on biofilms comprised of Porphyromonas gingivalis, Treponema denticola, and Tannerella forsythia in comparison to an amoxicillin and metronidazole combina...
متن کاملThe polymicrobial nature of biofilm infection.
The model of biofilm infection was first proposed over a decade ago. Recent scientific advances have added much to our understanding of biofilms, usually polymicrobial communities, which are commonly associated with chronic infection. Metagenomics has demonstrated that bacteria pursuing a biofilm strategy possess many mechanisms for encouraging diversity. By including multiple bacterial and/or ...
متن کاملMultiparameter assessments to determine the effects of sugars and antimicrobials on a polymicrobial oral biofilm.
Clinical studies indicate relationships between dental plaque, a naturally formed biofilm, and oral diseases. The crucial role of nonmicrobial biofilm constituents in maintaining biofilm structure and biofilm-specific attributes, such as resistance to shear and viscoelasticity, is increasingly recognized. Concurrent analyses of the diverse nonmicrobial biofilm components for multiparameter asse...
