Text

Contains a detailed discussion of the parameters of the model, a description of computer simulations, a derivation of the time to fixation in the uniform drug distribution, an explicit calculation of fixation times for an exponential drug distribution and exponential MICs, and a derivation of the time to resistance for pathways with fixed initial and final MICs and different number of intermediate mutations.
