Fig. 2: Changes in MDRO colonization status from baseline visit to discharge (last study visit).

From: Epidemiology and transmission dynamics of multidrug-resistant organisms in nursing homes within the United States

Fig. 2

Orange boxes indicate participants colonized with an MDRO, blue boxes indicate participants not colonized with an MDRO. Numbers in each box indicate the number of participants with a given colonization status at study baseline or discharge. For example, 47 participants who had multiple in-room visits were colonized with VRE at baseline. Of those, 27 (57.5%) remained colonized at discharge. The remaining 20 (42.5%) did not have detectable colonization at discharge. Alternatively, 135 participants who had multiple in-room visits were not colonized with VRE at baseline. Of those, 19 (14.1%) acquired VRE during their NH stay, while 116 (85.9%) remained not colonized with VRE. Source data are provided for this figure. Abbreviations: MDRO, multidrug-resistant organism; MRSA, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus; NH, nursing home; RGNB, resistant gram-negative bacilli; VRE, vancomycin-resistant enterococci.
