2. Fig. 1
Nasal cultivation results. ‘No. of cases’ shows the number of patients who showed the same sequence of culture positivity as highlighted in yellow on the right. ‘Cases with similar strains isolated on different days’ shows only the number of patients in whom all of the strains were genetically indistinguishable. NP, not possible to take swabs; P, positive nasal culture; –, negative nasal culture.
