Frequency of methicillin-resistant staphylococci and ESBL-producing Klebsiella spp. and Escherichia coli in each site of ambulance vehicles.

Note: When comparing the frequency of MRSA, MRCNS, and ESBLs among the different sites of vehicles, there were no pronounced trends in their distribution. However when taken together, portable ventilators and beds had higher counts, whereas DC shock apparatus and steering wheels had neither of them.

Abbreviations: MRSA, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus; MRCNS, methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci; ESBL, extended spectrum β-lactamase.
