Synergistic Effect of Combination Interventions for Methicillin-Resistant Transmission Control in Nursing Homes: A Computation Modelling Evaluation with Heterogeneous Contact Mixing.

The endemic threat of methicillin-resistant (MRSA) in nursing homes poses a serious and escalating challenge to public health administration in infection control. Nursing homes are considered as major reservoirs for MRSA colonization, with considerable high levels of colonization prevalence. We employed a computation model to evaluate effects of three intervention scenarios on MRSA colonization prevalence rate in nursing homes.
