摘要
ObjectiveSelection of antibiotic therapy is a complicated process, depending on, among others, the effect of cross-resistance between antibiotics. We propose a model, which incorporates information about treatment history in the form of information on the success or failure of the current treatment and which combines this with data on cross-resistance to predict the susceptibility to future antibiotic treatments, thus providing a systematic basis for revision of antibiotic treatment.
