Variation in colonization patterns before and after ICU stay. a Rates of colonization with antibiotic-resistant species at admission and after ICU stay. b Change in susceptibility rates after ICU stay in different treatment cycles. Proportion of the entire study group of patients (n = 206) with positive cultures. “Any resistance” indicates any bacterial growth on antibiotic supplemented media. “All resistance” indicates any growth on ChromAgar™ supplemented with vancomycin only (to exclude Gram-positive species). *KESC, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Serratia, Citrobacter spp. as identified on colorimetric media ChromAgar™ and confirmed by MALDI-TOF [16] as previously described [5]. Asterisks (*, **, ***) above bar charts indicate significant differences (p < 0.05)
