Figure Lengend Snippet: Box-and-whisker-Plot of the peaks P158 ( A ) and P51 ( B ). After Bonferroni post hoc analysis correction, Peaks P51 and P158 showed the highest sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value with 99.9% each in a significance level with p < 0.001 for K. pneumoniae (KP) when comparing KP and bare MacConkey agar plates (MC). Comparing K. oxytoca (KO) and MC P158 reaching the highest sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value of 99.9% each in a significance level with p < 0.001.
Article Snippet: Microbial cultures of KP and KO on MacConkey (MC) agar plates (Becton, Dickinson and Company, Franklin Lakes, New Jersey, USA) originated from rectal/anal swabs of preterm infants of the NICU of the Department of Pediatrics, Saarland University Medical Center, Homburg (Germany).
