Fig. 1From: Uses of mathematical modeling to estimate the impact of mass drug administration of antibiotics on antimicrobial resistance within and between communitiesConceptual schematic of a simple statistical model of antibiotic use and resistance. Empirical rates of population-level antibiotic use and resistance (points) are used to train a linear regression (line). Given a hypothetical increase in antibiotic use, the fit line can be used to predict the resulting change in population-level resistanceBack to article page
