Total number of culture samples and inpatient bed days. The white columns represent the total number of bacterial culture samples (excluding blood culture samples) in each fiscal year, and the spotted columns represent the total number of blood culture samples in each fiscal year. The line graph represents the number of inpatient bed days for each fiscal year. All data were collated for April to March on a fiscal year basis. r r r r r rr r r r r rr r r r r r rrrr III S. aureus meca S. aureus
