Employing quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) to derive aquatic thresholds for antibiotic-resistant strains of <i>Escherichia coli</i>, <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> and <i>Salmonella typhi</i>: a case study in the Yangtze Estuary

Figure 4. Sensitivity analysis of QMRA models of EC, SA, ST, 3CEC, CREC, MRSA, and FRST in (a1-a7) high-flow season and (b1-b7) low-flow season. QMRA: Quantitative microbial risk assessment; EC: Escherichia coli; SA: Staphylococcus aureus; ST: Salmonella typhi; 3CEC: third-generation cephalosporin-resistant Escherichia coli; CREC: carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli; MRSA: methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus; FRST: fluoroquinolone-resistant Salmonella typhi; conc: concentration of target pathogen; I: water intake; k: the copy number of functional genes in each cell; DW: disability weight; LC: course of disease; Plethal: probability of death; age-inf: age infected; r: resistant ratio.
