The relationship between the bacterial load on the floors before cleaning and the bacterial load on the walls before cleaning and time patient spent in the cage. The y-axis (days) shows the spline effect (s) of the interaction of the log10-transformed bacterial load on the wall by time patient spent in the cage. The x-axis shows the bacterial load on the walls in log10 CFU/cm2. X-values are plotted along the bottom of the plot. The full line shows the nonlinear relationship (edf:4.52) between the time the patient spent in the cage (the interaction of the log10-transformed bacterial load on the wall by time patient spent in the cage) and the log10-transformed bacterial load on the wall. The blue shade shows the 95% confidence interval for the mean shape of the effect
