Figure 3. — Comparison between the duration of circulating Staphylococcus aureus deoxyribonucleic acid (SA-DNA) levels and duration of blood culture (BC) positivity. (A) Time to clearance of S aureus by BC (dotted lines) and SA-DNA (solid lines) by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) in all patients. (B) Time to clearance of S aureus by BC (dotted lines) and SA-DNA (solid lines) in uncomplicated versus complicated infections. (C) Time to clearance of S aureus by BC and SA-DNA of catheter, skin and soft tissue infection (SSTI), urinary tract infection, and unknown infection source categorized into uncomplicated and complicated infections. (D) Time to clearance of S aureus by BC and SA-DNA in osteoarticular and endocarditis infections. Shading indicates the uncertainty in the interval censored data. (E) Comparison of the median time to clearance of S aureus as measured by BC (1.3 days) and SA-DNA by qPCR (6.3 days) in all subjects and subdivided by source of infection. Lines represent a 95% confidence interval around the median.
