A data-driven mathematical model of CA-MRSA transmission among age groups: evaluating the effect of control interventions.

Community associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) has become a major cause of skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) in the US. We developed an age-structured compartmental model to study the spread of CA-MRSA at the population level and assess the effect of control interve...
