Fig. 2From: Evaluation of a real-time PCR assay for detection and quantification of bacterial DNA directly in blood of preterm neonates with suspected late-onset sepsisDistribution of the bacterial DNA load at onset of sepsis, stratified by pathogen. Monomicrobial (circles) and polymicrobial (triangles) infection episodes and blood culture results (open symbols = positive, closed symbols = negative) are presented as indicated. The dashed line indicates the lower detection limitBack to article page
