Multivariate clustering analysis upon SEB stimulation in the validation cohort. 10 healthy volunteers and 30 septic patients were treated as a whole to discriminate associative gene patterns. SEB response revealed 3 clusters (SV1; n = 11, SV2; n = 14 and SV3; n = 15) using PAM method with correlation distance. The homemade dendogram is based on the distance between the individuals from the medoid of each cluster found by PAM. Darker purple colours on the heat map indicates higher fold change for upregulated genes (stimulation/control condition), while darker orange colours indicate higher fold change for downregulated genes. 10,000 AB/c was used as a threshold for high and low mHLA-DR. SEB staphylococcal enterotoxin B, HLA-DR human leukocyte antigen DR, HAI hospital-acquired infection.
