The phenomenon of emergence and diffusion of resistant bacteria in populations involve microbial, individual and population scales simultaneously. In that context, modelling, which allows formalization and simulation of the different scales, can help in analyzing, predicting and understanding better the spread of bacteria. The aim of this paper is to build some mathematical models to study and to control the diffusion of antibiotic resistant bacteria.
