Bacteria	Univariate analysis		Multivariate analysis
Bacteria	HR (95%Cl)	P	HR (95%Cl)	p
Escherichia coli	Ref		Ref
Coagulase-positive staphylococci	0.298 (0.041–2.161)	0.231	0.399 (0.054–2.929)	0.367
Acinetobacter spp.	3.881 (1.654–9.108)	0.002	0.805 (0.306–2.118)	0.665
Enterobacter spp.	2.385 (0.944–6.025)	0.066	1.537 (0.572–4.131)	0.394
Klebsiella spp.	2.092 (1.264–3.46)	0.004	1.888 (1.092–3.265)	0.024
Enterococcus spp.	2.842 (1.644–4.911)	< 0.001	0.964 (0.513–1.813)	0.911
Streptococcus spp.	0.551 (0.259–1.171)	0.121	0.95 (0.437–2.066)	0.896

Note: HRs were analyzed by using proportional hazards Cox regression model. In multivariate analysis, HR was adjusted for clinical parameters. Only the major monobacteria were included in analysis. Detailed information was shown in Table S2. P-values < 0.05 and corresponding HR are indicated in bold
