^aWounds may have growth of more than one type of organism so the sum may be >100%.

^bIFI, invasive fungal wound infection.

^cNon-IFI wounds may have growth of mold without meeting the clinical requirement to be classified as an IFI case wound (i.e., recurrent wound necrosis); therefore, these wounds are considered to be colonized with mold.

^dSSTI, skin and soft tissue infections.

^eIQR, interquartile range.

^fP = 0.782 for IFI wounds versus non-IFI wounds with SSTIs.

^gWounds also grew mold that was not otherwise specified.

^hP = 0.003 for IFI wounds versus non-IFI wounds with SSTIs.

ⁱIncludes both methicillin-resistant and methicillin-susceptible.
