Multiple antibiotic resistance index of wound, skin, and bed isolates.
| | MAR index | Number of isolates (%) | | Wound | Skin | Bed |
| | 0.1 | 8 (18.2) | 19 (28.8) | 7 (10.9) | | 0.2 | None | None | None | | 0.3 | 1 (2.3) | 7 (10.6) | 8 (12.5) | | 0.4 | 3 (6.8) | 3 (4.5) | 5 (7.8) | | 0.5 | 5 (11.4) | 4 (6.1) | 10 (15.6) | | 0.6 | 4 (9.1) | 9 (13.6) | 8 (12.5) | | 0.7 | None | None | None | | 0.8 | 7 (15.9) | 6 (9.1) | 9 (14.1) | | 0.9 | 7 (15.9) | 11 (16.7) | 7 (10.9) | | 1.0 | 9 (20.5) | 7 (10.6) | 10 (15.6) |
