Fig. 1 Colonisation of patients by vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) in the intensive care unit (ICU), expressed as the percentage of beds occupied by VRE-colonised patients/week. Each column represents one ICU-week, with the height of the column indicating the percentage of theoretically possible bed-days each week occupied by VRE-colonised patients. The significantly longer ICU stay (see Table 1) of VRE-positive patients causes an even greater impact than would be expected from the number of VRE-positive patients.
