Domestic laundering of healthcare textiles: Disinfection efficacy and risks of antibiotic resistance transmission
Fig 5
K. pneumoniae antibiotic resistance profile before and after repeated exposure to laundry detergents (liquid or powdered).
Blue markers represent the mean ZoI before exposure to the detergents. Orange markers represent the mean ZoI after exposure to the detergents. The green areas indicate each antibiotic susceptibility area based on the EUCAST (2024) breakpoints [25], the white areas represent the intermediary susceptibility, and the light red areas represent the antibiotic resistance area. When the antibiotic is not clinically relevant no areas is highlighted.
