Figure 1

Frequency of polymicrobial bacteremia episodes. The frequencies of neonatal bacteremia episodes are plotted against the years from 1997 to 2012. The dark shaded portion of the bars indicate polymicrobial component of the infectious episodes, which ranged from 6.3 to 18.6% and on an average of about 14% during the 16-year study period. There were significant decrease in the number of infections and polymicrobial infections between the time epochs, 1998-2009 and 2010-2012 (p < 0.01).
