A 14.7 KB ZIP archive of model files authored by Carys J. Redman-White and last updated in April 2026. The files support a conceptual study framing antimicrobial susceptibility as a finite resource, using causal loop diagrams and System Dynamics models to explore the effects of human behavior on resistance patterns.
Use Cases
- Simulating population-level antimicrobial susceptibility over time based on the described 'Limits to Growth' model structure.
- Comparing model behavior between systems informed by anecdotal experience versus surveillance data as described in the study.
- Conducting sensitivity analyses on relative fitness and timescale parameters for different bug-drug-mutation-context combinations.
- Exploring hypotheses about plateaux in AMR being influenced by human behavior rather than purely evolutionary forces.
Strengths
- Model files are openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
- The study applies an established modelling technique (System Dynamics) in a novel context for AMR.
Limitations
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- The 14.7 KB size suggests a very limited scope, likely containing only model definition files.
