Significant clustering of samples collected during colonization by multidrug-resistant bacteria (MDRB). Nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) plots were constructed by using UniFrac β-diversity. Each point represents a single sample in the full data set (n = 703). The difference in microbiome community structure was compared during versus not during colonization by (a) any MDRB (dark yellow; colonized n = 254 vs. noncolonized n = 449), b vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE, dark pink; colonized n = 142 vs. noncolonized n = 561), c Enterobacteriaceae resistant to third-generation cephalosporins (Ceph-RE, dark green; colonized n = 162 vs. noncolonized n = 541), and d carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE, dark purple; colonized n = 46 vs. noncolonized n = 657) as identified by using culture-based methods (see Methods, Supplementary Methods). PERMANOVA pseudo-F-statistic and P-value are shown. Source data are provided as a Source Data file
