*In this hospital, a cycling policy was in place during October 2013–September 2015, and a standard policy was in place during October 2015–September 2016. Bold indicates statistical significance. ESBL, extended-spectrum β-lactamase; HA-CDI, healthcare-associated Clostridioides difficile infection; HA-MRSA, healthcare-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
