Description of clusters of patients in the second wave.
| Cluster | Size | Bacteria: species label (n) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3 | P.ae (3) |
| 2 | 7 | E.co (7) |
| 3 | 5 | S.au (5) |
| 4 | 5 | E.fa (5) |
| 5 | 6 | E.fa (2), S.ep (6), S.ca (2), S.ho (4) |
| 6 | 7 | S.ep (7) |
| 7 | 3 | S.ho (3) |
| 8 | 3 | K.pn (3) |
Legend: size = cluster size, i.e. the number of subjects included in the cluster. In the third column, there is reported for each cluster, the description of species of bacterium: ‘species name’ is the abbreviation of the species, n is the number of subjects within the cluster that present the species.
E.co= Escherichia coli, E.fa= Enterococcus faecalis, P.ae= Pseudomonas aeruginosa, S.au= Staphylococcus aureus, S.ep= Staphylococcus epidermidis, S.ca= Staphylococcus capitis, S.ho= Staphylococcus hominis, K.pn= Klebsiella pneumonia
