Figure 1. — Positive results and species comparison from blood culture (BC) and sepsis indicating quantifier (SIQ) calculation. A, Percentage of positive results from BC (blue) and SIQ (orange) over the study time points. B, Percentage of species detected in the top 10 positive BC (blue) or SIQ (orange) results are displayed in decreasing order, sorted by BC results. The top two species are distributed similarly, with additional overlap in other species. A proportion of species is only observed in either one of the methods. The frequently observed potential skin contaminants Coagulase-negative Staphylococci (part of which are Staphylococcus epidermidis and S. hominis) as well as Propionibacteria are grouped at the bottom of the graph.
