It is with regret that the Figures 2–4 published in the PDF version of this article were incorrect. The problem does not occur in the HTML version. The figures in the PDF version should appear as follow:
FIG. 2. Frequency distribution of antibiotic exposure in temporal relation to the index specimen date. Cases are on the right pyramid (green) and controls are on the left (blue). (a) Distribution of antipseudomonal carbapenems (imipenem/meropenem). X-axis ranges between 0 and 220 days. (b) Distribution of ertapenem. X-axis ranges between 0 and 45 days. (c) Distribution of ureidopenicillin antibiotics. X-axis ranges between 0 and 45 days.

FIG. 3. Survival of patients and acquisition of resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA). (a) Kaplan–Meier survival curves. Cases (blue line) vs. controls (orange line); p-values are with borderline statistical significance depending on method: log-rank 0.026, Breslow 0.071, Tarone-Ware 0.046. (b) Acquisition of carbapenem-resistant ureidopenicillin-resistant PA (CRUR-PA) since index date (CRUS-PA, blue line; carbapenem-sensitive ureidopenicillin-sensitive PA, grey line; carbapenem-sensitive ureidopenicillin-resistant PA, dark blue line). All three curves are significantly different one from the other (p-value <0.05).

FIG. 4. Acquisition of carbapenem-resistant ureidopenicillin-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRUR-PA) among carbapenem-resistant ureidopenicillin-susceptible PA (CRUS-PA) cases, according to the type of antibiotic exposure in a 6-month period. No antibiotic exposure prior to and after the index date, black line; antibiotic exposure only prior to the index date, orange line; antibiotic exposure only after the index date, blue line; antibiotic exposure before and after the index date, green line.
