Analysis of survival and antimicrobial resistance in ICU patients. (a) The Kaplan-Meier curve was used to analyze the patient’s death time in our study population. The y-axis shows the survival probability, x-axis the time spent on the ward. The icons show the survival probability on the 0, 10, 20, 30 days. Red icons illustrate the deceased patients. (b) Stacked bar plots represent the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) read count in early mortality (EM) and late mortality (LM) groups. Color represents different anatomical sites (blue OS = oropharyngeal swab, pink RS = rectal swab).  (c/1) Panels display the degree of overlap in AMR carrier bacterial taxa between anatomical sites in both early and late mortality groups. (c/2) Venn diagrams illustrate the distribution of AMR carrier bacterial taxa between OS and RS samples within the early and late mortality groups. (c/3) Multidimensional scaling (MDS) plots with linear regression lines were used to visualize the composition of core AMR carrier species in OS and RS samples. NS = not significant.
