Figure 2. Proportion of bacterial species detected over the course of CSF shunt infection treatment by bTEFAP sequencing.

Figure 2

Only bacterial taxa that constitute over 2% of the reads from each sample on any day are shown; fungi are not presented. No bacteria or fungi were detected in either of the two concurrent negative controls (CSF and PBS). The only CSF cultures that grew organisms was that collected on day 2, which grew Staphylococcus epidermidis. Surgeries were performed on day 1 (abdominal exploration), day 2 (CSF shunt removal) and day 14 (CSF shunt replacement). Antibiotic treatment provided is shown above the corresponding day it was given; for instance, vancomycin and meropenem were provided on days 2 through 5.
