- 요약What does a future with SARS-CoV-2 look like? Will it continue to place a severe strain on our healthcare systems, or could it transition to becoming a common cold-causing virus? Either way, as the COVID-19 pandemic transitions to endemicity, bacterial infections, such as those caused by Staphylococcus aureus, will take on renewed importance. As far as their transmission dynamics are concerned, there has been much debate surrounding the notion that some people serve as a reservoir, but is that necessarily true? And when infections do occur, what makes them pathogenic or virulent? To add yet another complication: how do all the diverse species of pathogens that cause infection interact with each other to shape the epidemiology of infectious disease considered as a whole?In the following chapters, we delve into each of these questions. The first two chapters are previously published work, where we use mathematical models to make projections about the future of SARS-CoV-2, and develop statistical frameworks to link mathematical models to data of bacterial colonization. The third chapter studies virulence regulation in S. aureus with a mathematical model, and the fourth leverages mathematical models and likelihood-based statistics in the study of Syndromic Trend data from bioMerieux to address a fundamental question: how often do distinct pathogens coinfect the same host?
