Distribution of causative pathogens within each clinical syndrome. a. Neonatal sepsis/meningitis; b. Paediatric sepsis (children >1 month of age); c. Paediatric meningitis (children >1 month of age). The red vertical lines show the observed proportions of each pathogen responsible for each clinical syndrome, as summarised from data in the literature, whilst the black horizontal lines indicate the 80% (thick lines) and 99% (thin lines) credible intervals.
