Optimal control applied to community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in hospitals

Optimal control applied to community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in hospitals

Optimal control methods are applied to a deterministic mathematical model to characterize the factors contributing to the replacement of hospital-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (HA-MRSA) with community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA), and quantify...
