The faster-lifetime population fraction converges to 1-r_0^k, equivalently r_0^m. The slower-lifetime population fraction converges to r_0^k. The paper does not estimate bacterial fitness effects or parameter values empirically. Long-run population composition is determined entirely by the lifetime parameters through the characteristic equation.
