Plot of the number of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) isolates by hospital day of admission. An early peak is noted, corresponding to patients entering the hospital with MRSA or VRE bacteremia. Subsequent cases likely represent nosocomial acquisition.
