Network statistics for different MRSA clones. Each point in the background scatterplots corresponds to one clone of MRSA. Panel A shows the duration of the infection - from the first to the last day someone who has tested positive with a strain is present in the data - as a function of the total number of cases of the clone. In panel B, we see the number of units ever visited by a patient infected with the clone in question, as a function of the total number of cases. The circles represent average values in bins of exponentially increasing sizes (logarithmic binning). Bars indicate standard errors.
