RESUMO

A recent mathematical model (Freter et al., Infect. Immun. 39:686-703, 1983) provided a plausible simulation of both the mouse gut and continuous-flow mixed cultures. We show here that in certain circumstances Freter's equations are soluble, giving simple formulae that can be applied to particular problems without resort to computers or numerical simulation.
