  1. N_prescriptions: number of preceding antimicrobial prescriptions received 2 days or more before each sample; %Injectable: proportion of parenteral (non-oral) preceding antimicrobial prescriptions. *Laboratory identity (n = 15) was controlled for in the final model (p < 0.0001), but individual values were not included in the Table
