Transmission thresholds for the spread of infections in healthcare facilities

2025-02-23

Abstract excerpt

Some infections may be sustained in the human population by persistent transmission among patients clustered in healthcare facilities, including patients colonized with multi-drug-resistant organisms posing a major health threat. A nuanced understanding of facility characteristics that contribute to crossing a threshold for self-sustaining outbreak potential may be crucial to designing efficient interventions for...
