Figure 2

Temporal trends of livestock-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections in Denmark. A) Annual number of cases and isolates. B) Proportion of IEC-positive isolates in patients with indirect livestock contact, CO, and HO/HACO infection compared with patients who had direct contact with livestock. Data are shown as prevalence ratios (5-year rolling averages). CO, community-onset; HACO, healthcare-associated community-onset; HO, healthcare-onset; IEC, immune evasion cluster.
