报告摘要

I first talk about the importance of phage therapy in fighting bacteria infections and review the advances of mathematical modeling in the study of phage dynamics. Then, I introduce our researches on how immune responses affect the outcomes of phage therapy. It is shown that the host immune response induces the backward bifurcation. Thus, there exists the bistability of phage-free equilibrium with the phage-infection equilibrium. More importantly, it is found that the model exhibits the coexistence of a stable phage-infection equilibrium with a stable periodic solution. The crucial implication of these phenomena is that phage infection fails both from the smaller dose of initial injection and from the larger dose of initial injection. Thus, a proper design of phage dose is necessary for phage therapy. Further analysis indicate that the inhibition effects of bacteria and phages can induce periodic oscillations and modulated oscillation.
