    Snippet: In Figure 5C -D, the average numbers of colonized and infected patients are compared based on the number of screened patients. Heuristic control measures relying on the number of contacts, length of stay and contact tracing all limit MRSA transmission; however, a substantial additional reduction in both colonization and infection can be achieved through inference-based intervention.

    Document: In Figure 5C -D, the average numbers of colonized and infected patients are compared based on the number of screened patients. Heuristic control measures relying on the number of contacts, length of stay and contact tracing all limit MRSA transmission; however, a substantial additional reduction in both colonization and infection can be achieved through inference-based intervention. On average, inference-based screening of approximately 0.89% (6,617/743,599) of all patients can avert up to 38% (121/315) of infections and 9% (1,610/17,810) of colonizations. In comparison, the other three methods given similar numbers of screened patients only reduced infections and colonizations by 21% and 4% (number of contacts), 27% and 6% (length of stay), and 28% and 6% (contact tracing), respectively.
