Fig. 2. Within-hospital transmission chains and estimated infections within and between patients and healthcare workers.

Fig. 2

a An example transmission chain showing transmission between staff (icons with stethoscope) and patients (icons without stethoscope). Icons are labelled with their case identification number. Each colour represents a separate ward where the infection occurred. b The support (the percentage of networks across all those sampled, where a given infector is assigned to each case) for each potential transmission pair shown in the example network in panel 2a. Numbers on the plot correspond to the case identification numbers in Fig. 2a and the green circles correspond to the transmission pairs displayed. Import = likely community-acquired infection imported into hospital. From = infector, to = infectee. c Comparison of the percentage of each transmission type between the two waves. The distributions display the percentages throughout the 10,000 plausible networks. The numbers above each distribution are the absolute numbers of each transmission pair with 95% credible intervals shown within the brackets.
