Metapopulation ecology links antibiotic resistance, consumption, and patient transfers in a network of hospital wards

Metapopulation ecology links antibiotic resistance, consumption, and patient transfers in a network of hospital wards

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global threat. A better understanding of how antibiotic use and between-ward patient transfers (or connectivity) impact population-level AMR in hospital networks can help optimize antibiotic stewardship and infection control strategies. Here, we used a metapopulat...
