ggplot2 with expression: conditional superscript the tick labels in scale_*_discrete

[Jakhongir Alidjanov]

Hi everyone!

I am trying to label the ticks on the x-axis using the following line of code:

scale_x_discrete("Results of the urine culture", labels=c(expression("<"~10^4~"CFU/ml"), expression(10^4~"-"~10^5~"CFU/ml"), expression(">"~10^6~"CFU/ml")))
The graph returns with the same value (the first in the expression, i.e.  "<10^4 CFU/ml") for all three ticks (see the graph below). I have tried to find an answer using 
search but did not find the description of this problem. Could you please point out what is wrong with this code?
Thanks in advance.

Yours truly,
Jakhongir

Update
Dear all problem was in the line

facet_grid(~count, switch="y", space = "free_x", scales = "free_x")

But if I remove it, I lose the number of cases in each group, that I would like to avoid.

Well, I have found the solution. I have removed the line with facet_grid and added some modifications to keep these numbers at the top of the graph. First, I tried to duplicate the x-axis using sec_axis to add the numbers of patients in each group on the secondary axis. But doesn't work because the x-axis was discrete and sec_axis works only with continuous axes. Then, I have tried simple geom_text, adding some modifications with coord_cartesian and plot.margin. So, the added modifications are:

+geom_text(aes(label=count, y=Inf), vjust=-0.5, size=5)+
coord_cartesian(clip = "off")+
theme(plot.margin = margin(20,15,15,15, unit = "pt"))
