TABLE 2.
Poisson regression analysis for developing disturbed oropharyngeal microbiota during hospitalization in 104 subjects with a normal microbiota at admission, (yes n = 14, no n = 90). The number of patients receiving Lactobacilli in this analysis was 53, the control group consisted of 51 patients
