Figure 1. Study participants and E. faecium culture positivity.

Figure 1

The number of patients sampled is shown as a subset of those enrolled, which in turn are a subset of those admitted to the two hematology wards. The overall number of environmental swabs taken from the hospital environment and for non-sampled patients is given. Culture positivity values for E. faecium, ampicillin-resistant E. faecium and vancomycin-resistant E. faecium are shown for both sampled participants and environmental swabs at the left and right-hand side of the figure, respectively. Supplementary Table 2 provides a breakdown of positivity rates for different environmental sources. a 21 swabs were negative for VREfm and were not cultured for AREfm.
