Table 2: Summary of plasma C-reactive protein concentration (CRP, mg/ml), blood white cell count (×10e9), systolic blood pressure (mmHg), diastolic blood pressure (mmHg), heart rate (beats per minute), age of patient (years), and body temperature (°C) at the time when the blood cultures were drawn divided according to origin of the infection and antimicrobial susceptibility. Penicillin-sensitive (pen S) bacteria represent Streptococcus isolates and penicillin-resistant (pen R) are Enterococcus isolated. *=p<0.05, **=p<0.01. Number of isolates in each condition is shown (n).
