(a) Logarithmic plots of viable bacterial counts (log CFU·m^-2) of drug-sensitive strains (E. coli, P. aeruginosa, Acinetobacter spp., Klebsiella spp., and other Enterobacteriaceae) alongside drug-resistant strains (MRSA, MDRA, and VRE) recovered from LTCF bedsheets during the initial phase of the study. (b) Percent distribution of Gram-positive, Gram-negative, drug-sensitive, and drug-resistant bacteria. (c) Comparisons of total viable bacteria (left) and MRSA (right) in CFU·m^-2 found on the upper, middle, and lower sections of bedsheet (middle) from male and female LTCF residents
