In the fight against bacterial pathogens, researchers are combining vaccination with targeted colonization of the intestine by harmless microorganisms. This approach could potentially mark a turning p...

The issue of antibiotic resistance is a critical concern for public health, prompting numerous investigations into the impact of treatment strategi...

In this review, we assess the status of computational modelling of pathogens. We focus on three disparate but interlinked research areas that produce models with very different spatial and temporal sc...
