Table 3 Bacteria isolated (n = 90) from 84 positive blood cultures deemed clinically relevant (light gray columns) and the number of these blood cultures within three groups: Patients who fulfilled Sepsis-3 criteria (155 patients), patients with a Neutrophil to lymphocyte count ratio (NLCR) > 12 (177 patients) and patients with a Modified Shapiro score (MSS) ≥3 points (195 patients). The “Total” represents the number (percentage) of Gram-negative/−positive findings in each group
