The categories assessed were: positive (Pos.), negative (Neg.) and Missing (Mis.). For quantitative bacterial identification, S.p., H.i. and M.c. were confirmed by bacterial identification load higher than (>) 10^4 colony forming units per milliliter (cfu/mL), if bacterial species were present alone, or >10^5 cfu/mL if present as co-infection.
