Fig 1 Weighted graph illustrating the network of contacts in a nursing home setting, with pets (p) represented by boxes and residents (r) represented by circles. Edges represent physical contacts between pets and persons, with line thickness increasing with higher reported contact frequency. Individuals carrying S epidermidis [+] are depicted as gray vertices, those not carrying this staphylococcal species [-] in white. mecA is the gene encoding for methicillin resistance in staphylococci.
