Fig 3. Type and frequency of organisms grown in patient cohort.

Fig 3

The growth and frequency of organisms defined according to laboratory analysis is shown in descending order. Total number of positive cultures is 245. NB: there were 10-paired samples of coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (CNS). A paired sample growing CNS is usually pathogenic [22] and not considered to be a contaminant.
