Distribution of common antimicrobial resistances (CAMRs). (a) A pie chart demonstrating the distribution of non-CAMRs and CAMRs in patients’ oropharyngeal and rectal swabs, as well as in the staff’s oral and rectal swabs and in the environment. (b) Clustered stacked bar plot shows patterns and similarities in CAMRs across sample types. (c) Bar plot shows the relative frequency of CAMRs with a relative frequency above and below 5% relative frequency in our study cohort. (d) Stacked bar plots show the distribution of CAMR classes relative frequency across the different sample populations. (e) Differences in the relative distribution of CAMRs associated with staff and patients in both oropharyngeal (OS) and rectal swab (RS) samples were examined, as well as to postadmission (PA) and antemortem (AM) samples. The CAMRs load of the environment were marked with light grey background. In every case, bar plots were used to examine the statistical differences between the sample groups. Asterisks indicate significant difference (*p < 0.05).
