Abstract : I will introduce an ODE model describing the spread of multidrug-resistant bacteria in a hospital network. I will present the mathematical properties of the model solutions, including the global stability of steady states. Based on simulations for real-life data, I will describe how the parameters affect the process dynamics at both network and hospital levels. Finally, the relations to other types of models describing similar processes will be discussed.
