Time series of monthly mcr-1 prevalence in colonized inpatients, China, April 2011–December 2019. The mcr-1 prevalence was recorded each month in observed data (blue histogram) and 3-month moving average data (solid red line). Vertical dashed lines indicate significant changepoints identified in the changepoint analysis: November 2013, May 2015, November 2016, May 2017, and August 2018.
