Schematic showing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) acquisition and transmission dynamics in the orthopedic ward of index patients positive for carrying antimicrobial-resistant bacteria 24 hours after admission. 1 = AMR transmission from the index patient to the health-care worker; 2 = AMR transmission from the index patient to the index patient’s neighbor and other admitted patients; 3 = AMR transmission from the index patient to the immediate and non-immediate environment of the index patient; 4 = AMR transmission from the index patient to their non-medical caretaker.
