Figure 1 Mean incidence of infections caused by ampicillin-resistant Enterococcus faecium and prescription of antibiotics in selected departments during 1995 and 1996. Seventy-six per cent of the ARE-cases within the medical department were in three wards noted as high prevalence wards. The other three medical wards were noted as low prevalence wards.
