Sensitivity of the point prevalence of MRSA to the estimated parameters. The solid black lines represent the strain-specific point prevalence of MRSA given the estimated model parameter (Table 1). The grey lines represent the point prevalence of MRSA calculated for various values of the parameter; these values are displayed as labels above or below the lines. a Sensitivity of the prevalence of non-USA300 to MRSA admission prevalence, λ; b Sensitivity of the prevalence of USA300 to MRSA admission prevalence, λ; c Sensitivity of the prevalence of non-USA300 to discharge rates of non-colonized, γS; d Sensitivity of the prevalence of USA300 to discharge rates of non-colonized, γS; e Sensitivity of the prevalence of non-USA300 to discharge rates of colonized, γI; f Sensitivity of the prevalence of USA300 to discharge rates of colonized, γI; g Sensitivity of the prevalence of non-USA300 to acquisition rates of non-USA300, b 1n ; h Sensitivity of the prevalence of USA300 to acquisition rates of USA300, b 3n ; i Sensitivity of the prevalence of non-USA300 to clearance rates of non-USA300, g n1 ; j Sensitivity of the prevalence of USA300 to clearance rates of USA300, g n3
