Modeling the seasonality of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections in hospitals with environmental contamination

Modeling the seasonality of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections in hospitals with environmental contamination

A deterministic mathematical model with periodic antibiotic prescribing rate is constructed to study the seasonality of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections taking antibiotic exposure and environmental contamination into consideration. The basic reproduction number $ R_0 $ f...
