ARES
Antibiotic Resistance Evolution Simulator
ARES (Antibiotic Resistance Evolution Simulator) is a membrane computing-based model, able to simulate complex biological landscapes. It uses a nested membrane-surroundings entitites scheme formatted in a XML file.
The created scenarios emulate entities as: i) Resistance genes, able to detoxify antibiotics. These genes can be located in the plasmid, in conjugative elements or in the chromosome; ii) plasmids and conjugative elements transferring genes between bacterial cells; iii) bacterial...
