ETA bacteriology and its association with VAP. a: Bacteriological characteristics of ETA samples obtained in the VAP relevant-period (defined as day where VAP was diagnosed ±2 days). *not sufficient ETA sample coverage: ETA samples obtained on < 50% of days during VAP-relevant period and not yielding any pathogens. b: Gram-positive and Gram-negative species isolated from ETAs in VAP-relevant period. All cases where multiple bacterial species were isolated are listed individually
