^aValues given in n (%). Percentages do not sum to 100% because patients could have more than one type of infection.

^bEleven patients were rehospitalized, but culture results were not available for two subsequent hospitalizations.

^cFive patients were rehospitalized, but culture results were not available for two subsequent hospitalizations.
