Abstract

To model the growth of a bacterial population in the presence of antibiotics we use the stochastic model from Bogdanov et al. [2]. We assume that bacterial cells either die or duplicate, with probabilities p0(c) and p2(c), where p2(c) = 1/(1 + αcβ) for some α, β, where c stands for the antibiotic concentration. Using measurements based on colony counting method we obtain weakly consistent, asymptotically normal estimator both for (α, β) and for the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC), a relevant parameter in pharmacology.
