Percentage of patients in the control versus intervention groups who acquired colonization with the pathogens during their hospital admission. Patients with a positive admission culture for a pathogen were excluded from the analysis of acquisition for that pathogen. The control group received standard care; the intervention group received education on patient hand hygiene for up to 5 days or until discharge. Nares culture or polymerase chain reaction was performed for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA); perirectal swabs were cultured for vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), fluoroquinolone (FQ)-resistant gram-negative bacilli (GNB), and Candida spp.
