Temporal frequency and survival curve data for Staphylococcus aureus blood culture isolates. a Stacked bar graph to show the temporal frequency of S. aureus isolates recovered from blood cultures during the BARNARDS sampling, per month. The bar graph is coloured according to the dominant STs, with all other STs being grouped as ‘Other’. b A Kaplan Meier survival plot comparing the four dominant ST groups (with all other STs detected grouped together as a single group called ‘other’) against the age at outcome for the neonate and up to 60 days. Findings are suggestive as the data presented is from a sample size (ST152 n = 15, ST other n = 37, ST5 n = 17, ST6 n = 18 and ST8 n = 13; overall comparison P 0.041)
