Fig. 5: Noise mediates pathogen composition shifts during recovery.
From: The effect of stochastic noise on antibiotic resistance in intestinal flora
a, b Compared the sensitive-to-resistant pathogen ratios between stochastic and deterministic models when Ω = 2000 (a) and Ω = 10,000 (b). The red bars represented cases where the ratio was smaller than that of the deterministic model, while the blue bars represented cases where the ratio was larger. c, d Illustrated the mean values of sensitive pathogens (c) and resistant pathogens (d) from 1000 simulations under each of the 14 initial value. All microbial populations shown in the figure were normalized to Ω. The blue snowflake symbol represented Ω = 2000, while the yellow triangles represented Ω = 10,000.
