30-day mortality associated with community-acquired bacteremia (CAB) in northeast Thailand by age group.

<p>30-day mortality associated with community-acquired bacteremia (CAB) in northeast Thailand by age group.</p

Mortality rates from leading causes of death due to infectious diseases per 100,000 people per year in northeast Thailand between 2004 and 2010.

<p>Mortality rate attributable to CAB was calculated as the number of CAB patients who died within 30 days of the admission per 100,000 people per year. Death due to other infectious diseases shown was defined in patients who were admitted to the study hospitals, died within 30 days of admission, and had the primary cause of death based on ICD-10 codes of HIV disease (B20–24), tuberculosis (A15–19), lower respiratory tract infection (J09–18), and diarrhea (A09), after excluding those who died within 30 days due to CAB as described above.</p

Age- and gender- specific incidence rate of community-acquired bacteremia (CAB), northeast Thailand, 2004–2010.

<p>CAB was defined in patients who had pathogenic organisms isolated from blood taken in the first 2 days of admission and without a hospital stay within 30 days prior to the admission. The incidence rate of CAB was calculated as the number of CAB identified in the participating hospitals per 100,000 people per year.</p

The presence of <i>B. pseudomallei</i> in 100 equally spaced sampling points measuring 2.5 m×2.5 m.

<p>Absence of <i>B. pseudomallei</i> at a sampling point is denoted by a blank white box. Presence of <i>B. pseudomallei</i> at a sampling site is denoted by a grey box, superimposed with sequence type (ST) data where genotyping was performed. The number of colonies genotyped was 60 for all points with typing data shown, with the exception of E7 and F6 which only contained 45 colonies on the initial primary plates.</p

Splits decomposition based on the concatenated sequences of the seven STs identified from 11 sampling points.

<p>This was carried out using SplitsTree 4 (splitstree.org) using the default settings. The analysis suggests that the STs are approximately equidistant from each other, and the high level of reticulation is consistent with free recombination.</p

Genotyping of <i>B. pseudomallei</i> from eleven sampling points.

<p>A total of 60 colonies were picked for genotyping from primary culture plates for all sampling points except for E7 and F6, for which the total was 45 per point. PT C₂ and PT D₂ differed by one band from PT C₁ and PT D₁, respectively. A1 and A2 differed by 7 bands.</p
