Interventions implemented in the model and their relation with model parameters.

Intervention	Modellization	Effect description
Cohorting16	H → (1 − q)H	Decreased effective number of HCWs contributing to pathogen transmission
Isolation and pre-emptive isolation17	KH	Lower contact rate
Antibiotic consumption policies16,29	A = 1 + ε(ξ − 1)	More DOTs increase the risk of colonization by resistant strains
Hand hygiene17	h	Hand-washing after a contact prevents HCW contamination
Screening at admission	pR	More accurate screening reduce the resistance prevalence at admission
