Geographic distribution of cooling tower and home and work addresses (n = 23) of patients; 1 patient may be represented twice with home and work address, because place of infection is unknown. The addresses marked “immobile” belong to 2 patients who had not left their homes. Two samples had undergone core genome multilocus sequence typing (cgMLST), and sequence type (ST) 82 was typed (represented by 2 home addresses and 1 work address). For 2 samples, only ST82 was typed. Two dots in the 1-km radius are overlapping each other. Four addresses (9 km, 10 km, 19 km, and 26 km from the cooling tower) are outside the scale of the map. Circle radii are from 1 km to 4 km, centered on the cooling tower. Shapefiles for mapping by OpenStreetMap contributors.
