Figure 1

Relative time (days) to CDI index (primary diagnosed episode of CDI) in nonrecurrent patients (single diagnosis of CDI; green), recurrent patients (patients with at least one subsequent diagnosis of CDI within 15–56 days of another CDI episode; orange), and reinfected patients (patients with subsequent episode(s) of CDI > 8 weeks apart; yellow). Sample status based on CDI diagnosis at time of sampling is color-coded by legend (‘recovery’ status = no CDI diagnosis at that timepoint). Only available and successfully processed samples are displayed.
