PsAr: Pseudomonas aeruginosa; AB: Acinetobacter baumannii; KP: Klebsiella pneumoniae; E. coli: Escherichia coli. Note. The values in the table presented the total patient number who were infected with corresponding XDRE, followed by the patient number in TCM group (the former) and Control group (the latter) in the brackets. There might be more than 1 infected location in one patient; thus the total infected locations were not equal to the patient numbers.
