*Blank cells indicate variable not included in multivariate models. aOR, adjusted (for age) OR; CHL, chloramphenicol; ESBL, extended-spectrum β-lactamase; OR, odds ratio. 
†Not reported for 4 women (missing data). All 4 were colonized with CHL-susceptible ESBL-producing Escherichia coli. One woman was colonized with CTX-M-55–type E. coli, whereas the other 3 were colonized with other CTX-M–encoded isolates.
