  1. Legend:* Total microbial etiological factors is greater than the number of LO-BSI confirmed microbiologically by a mixed culture found in several infections.
  2. LO-BSI – late onset bloodstream infections, CVC-BSI – Central Venous Catheter-Associated BSI, PVC-BSI Peripheral Venous Catheter-Associated BSI; CNS – Coagulase-negative staphylococci.
