Figure 5.

Synoptic curve of patients infected or colonized with cfr-positive LRSE. The number in front of each line corresponds to the patient number. A patient number in bold signifies that the patient has been considered infected with a cfr-positive LRSE. A number not in bold indicates that the cfr-positive LRSE has been considered as a colonizer. The periods corresponding to the three successive outbreaks are indicated below the x-axis. The colour code corresponds to related strain (ST and cfr-encoding plasmid). Colour codes for hospitalization unit are indicated under the chart.
