Fig. 5: Different geographic distribution of the residential location in the Netherlands of persons carrying PVL-positive and PVL-negative GG0398 MRSA.

From: Molecular characterization of MRSA collected during national surveillance between 2008 and 2019 in the Netherlands

Fig. 5

a All 2017–2019 PVL-positive GG0398 MRSA (red circles, n = 140) and a random sample of PVL-negative GG0398 (green circles, n = 140) from the same period. The circle size indicates the number of sampled persons living in the same geographic location. The yellow circle on the West Coast denotes the city of The Hague. b The number of inhabitants of the 12 Dutch provinces (purple) and the number of pigs in pig farms per province (salmon). The circle sizes represent the number of inhabitants or pigs per province ×1000. In the province in the Mid-East (Gelderland), the number of inhabitants is nearly the same as the number of pigs.
