2 FIG. 1 (a) Flowchart of patients included in the IDI study. aContact screening patients were only assessed when the contact screening was of limited size as the number of available slots on the SmartCycler is 14 (maximum of four patients). bPCR of the nose swab was unresolved. (b) Flowchart of patients included in the GeneXpert study. aPCR of the nose swab was unresolved (n = 12) or the nose swab was negative and all other sites were nonconclusive (n = 2). (c) Flowchart of patients included in the chromogenic study. aNo chromogenic media of the nose specimen.
