Fig. 7From: Identifying conditions for elimination and epidemic potential of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in nursing homesDistribution of subjects colonized with non-USA300 over time in selected scenarios. The black dotted lines represent the percent colonized with non-USA300 derived from the deterministic model. The black solid line represents the mean of 1000 stochastic simulations, and the grey solid lines show the first 20 out of 1000 individual simulations. a Predictions based on observed data; b Predictions under the assumption of no intra-facility cross-transmission of MRSA; c Predictions under the assumption of two-fold increase of clearance rates of MRSA; d Predictions when the influx of colonized into the facility is prevented; e Predictions when the influx of colonized into the facilities is reduced two-foldBack to article page
