Spanish term

fenomeno en aumento 29

Spanish to English Medical Medical: Pharmaceuticals
"Diferentes estudios han demostrado mayor tasa de fracaso clínico y mayor mortalidad cuando las CMI vancomicina frente a SARM son > 1µg/ml 28 y la presencia de dichas cepas es un fenómeno en aumento 29"

I'm not sure whether this number is really supposed to be here or not, there is a reference to footnotes after this with the number 29 in superscript. Unfortunately, I haven't been given the footnotes so I can't look up the reference.
Proposed translations (English)
5 +2 progressive phenomenon [footnote 29]

If the typist attempted to move or edit the footnote call inside the main text, I can easily see how the number could have been left as run-on text even though others ended up in superscript. It has happened to me!

thanks Muriel perhaps I should explain this a little better, the end of the sentence looks like this "fenómeno en aumento 29 27,29". The 27 and 29 (last one) are in superscript and refer to the footnotes so I'm not sure what that first 29 is doing.

I'd be willing to bet the farm that it's a footnote.

The 28 right before it would be the previous footnote. Can y ou find 27, 26, etc.?

What clinches it for me is the 28 earlier in the same sentence which is also totally unrelated to the context. Did you think it was a quantity? I don't see how it could be.
