Frequency of patients who had Gram-positive or Gram-negative bacterial culture-positive by IL17A rs1974226 genotype in two cohorts of severe sepsis. IL17A rs1974226 GG genotype patients had an increased culture-positive rate of Gram-positive bacteria compared to the AA/AG genotype patients and a decreased rate of Gram-negative bacteria in two cohorts (AA/AG versus GG, SPH, Gram-positive P = 0.0036, Gram-negative P = 0.0086; VASST, Gram-positive P = 0.011, Gram-negative P = 0.13). SPH, St Paul's Hospital; VASST, Vasopressin and Septic Shock Trial. P values were calculated using chi-square test. *P < 0.05
