Oral SAP Pathogens in the IOHC and Control Groups at the End of the Follow-Up Period.

Oral SAP pathogens	Intervention n = 43	Control n = 41
Staphylococcus aureus, n (%)	5 (11.6)	5 (12.2)
Klebsiella pneumoniae, n (%)	3 (7.0)	6 (14.6)
Acinetobacter baumannii, n (%)	0 (0.0)	4 (9.8)
Candida albicans, n (%)	1 (2.3)	1 (2.4)
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, n (%)	0 (0.0)	1 (2.4)
No SAP pathogen, n (%)	34 (79.1)*	24 (58.5)

IOHC = intensified oral hygiene care; SAP = stroke-associated pneumonia.
