Relative intestinal loads of Serratia spp. over time for all the patients that have had more than one episode of detection of this organism in rectal swabs. The dotted line indicates the relative loads for patients of Group 2 (i.e., samples obtained from culture-negative patients). Log∆∆Ct values of 0 represent 100% of the bacterial population, −1 is 10%, −2 is 1%, and so on until −6 (0.0001%), which is the detection limit.
