Abstract
In this paper, a two-strain epidemic model on a complex network is proposed. The two strains are the drug-sensitive strain and the drug-resistant strain. The related basic reproduction numbers Rs and Rr are obtained. If R0 = max{Rs,Rr} < 1, then the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable. If Rr > 1, then there is a unique drug-resistant strain dominated equilibrium Er, which is locally asymptotically stable if the invasion reproduction number Rs r < 1. If Rs > 1 and Rs > Rr, then there is a unique coexistence equilibrium E*. The persistence of the model is also proved. The theoretical results are supported with numerical simulations.
