Fast hospital discharge rates blur within-hospital ‘transmission footprint’ in bacterial genomes, as showcased with Staphylococcus aureus
Fig 5
Estimated transmission rates for scenario simulated under the assumption of equal transmission (ET) and a community sampling proportion of sC = 0.001.
Each bar represents the 95% HPD interval from a simulation replicate with a point denoting the median estimate. Horizontal lines indicate the true transmission rates within the community (blue) and the hospital (red). For clarity, simulation replicates are displayed in ascending order based on their mean values.
