Association between touching patient and environmental domains and contamination of gloves or gown with CRE

Domain touched (N=3070)	Number of observations n (%)	Interactions resulting in contamination (%)	aOR (95% CI)	p-value
Patient only	522 (17.0)	8.8	0.85 (0.58-1.27)	0.43
Environment only	405 (13.2)	5.9	0.61 (0.39-0.95)	0.03
Any patient contact	2073 (67.5)	11.4	1.52 (1.10-2.12)	0.01
Nothing	70 (2.3)	2.9	0.28 (0.07-1.12)	0.07

Any patient contact: patient only or both patient and environment
