Figure 2

A typical simulation using baseline model parameterization. Subplots show the percentage of Clostridium difficile colonized patients who are admitted and discharged (top), the incidence of symptomatic disease (middle) and the proportional distribution of inpatient infection status (bottom). Stochastic (Direct Gillespie algorithm) simulations are run for a hospital with 1000 beds whereby newly admitted patients perfectly balance discharged individuals.
