Basic reproduction number of strain-independent MRSA, R0, within 95 % confidence intervals of estimated acquisition and clearance rates of strain-specific MRSA. a R0 within 95 % CI’s of acquisition rates of non-USA300 (b 1n ) and USA300 (b 3n ); b R0 within 95 % CI’s of clearance rates of non-USA300 (g n1 ) and USA300 (g n3 ); c R0 within 95 % CI’s of acquisition and clearance rates of non-USA300 (b 1n and g n1 , respectively); d R0 within 95 % CI’s of acquisition and clearance rates of USA300 (b 3n and g n3 , respectively)
