From: Quantifying where human acquisition of antibiotic resistance occurs: a mathematical modelling study
Model diagram of the community and hospital populations. Our compartmental model subdivides a human population into those in the community (CX) and those in the hospital (HX). People move between the hospital and the community (at rates α and l) and between further subpopulations depending on the ARB they carry and where they were acquired (X: S = susceptible, Rc = ARB acquired in the community, Rh = ARB acquired in the hospital). ARB acquisition is dependent on setting-specific transmission rates (βc, βh), antibiotic exposure levels (ωc, ωh) and population sizes (Nc, Nh) in the community or hospital respectively. ARB clearance occurs at a rate c
