Sampling site	Antimicrobial-resistance per isolate Median (range)^a	p value^b
Site 1	9 (5–10)	0.0313*
Site 2	10 (7–11)	0.0313*
Site 3	11 (8–12)	0.0078*
Site 4	9 (5–11)	0.0078*
Site 5	9 (6–12)	0.0020*

^aMedian and range are reported to match more consistently with the nonparametric statistical tests performed
^b p value was calculated using Wilcoxon rank sum test
* Statistically significant at alpha = 0.05
