Timeline showing length of stay and potential overlap of stay for 28 patients harboring genotypes I to IX at the cardiothoracic intensive care unit of the University Hospital of Vienna during the 24-month study period. The relationship between genotypes I to IX and clonal complexes of genotypes is also shown. * C.C., clonal complex of genotypes where A to D indicate clonal complexes of genotypes differing in only one of the six microsatellite markers. n.r., there is no relationship to a clonal complex. Numbers with a superscript “1” and a superscript “2” are dates of admission to and discharge from the cardiothoracic intensive care unit, respectively. Admission or discharge dates are given only if there is an overlap of stay of patients with the same genotype.
