Results of nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMS) of the specialties (n = 36) for the 198 hospitals included in this study. Two significant axes explain a total of 83.9 % of the variation in the data with NMS axis 1 explaining 78.7 %, representing an increasing number of MRSA cases, increasing hospital size (OBD), and an increasing number of total specialties. 80 % confidence ellipses drawn to designate significant groups based on hospital type: Teaching (Category A1; n = 6), General, no teaching (Category A2, A3, A4; n = 32) and Other (Categories B, C, D, E, J; n = 160)
