<i>Clostridioides difficile</i>transmission: a compartmental model accounting for environmental spore persistence

2024-04-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Objective</h4> To set up a compartmental model, including environmental spore levels, for C. difficile transmission dynamics in a hospital and determine the effect of preventive interventions on infection and colonization rates. <h4>Design</h4> Intervention study within a compartmental mathematical modeling framework. <h4>Setting</h4> A simulated Swedish 500-bed secondary care hospital. <h4>Interventions model...
