  1. P-values (two-sided without adjustment for multiple comparisons) are based on logistic regression.
  2. ADL activities of daily living, CI confidence interval, MDRO multidrug-resistant organism, NH nursing home, OR Odds ratio.
  3. aExcludes 9 participants for which some data was missing: race/ethnicity (n = 7 missing) and hospital length of stay (n = 2 missing).
  4. bExcludes 8 participants (race/ethnicity (n = 7 missing) and hospital length of stay (n = 1 missing)) and 16 participants for whom new acquisition could not be assessed (12 discharged after baseline visit and 4 colonized with all MDROs at baseline).
