The species-specific presepsin levels. The presepsin levels after 4 h of incubation are shown in descending order of median values. Gram negative bacteria are on the left, and gram positive bacteria are on the right. The median values (interquartile ranges) of the gram-negative bacteria were, E. cloacae 330 (246–462) pg/mL, K. pneumoniae 301 (229–378) pg/mL, S. maltophilia 284.5 (202.25–396) pg/mL, E. coli 251.5 (175–289.25) pg/mL, and P. aeruginosa 197 (169–274) pg/mL. The median values of the gram-positive bacteria were, S. aureus 282 (225–452) pg/mL, B. cereus 197 (140–324) pg/mL, S. pyogenes 171 (150–213) pg/mL, and C. striatum 136 (119–193) pg/mL. The vertical line within the box represents the median sample value. The ends of the box represent the 3rd and 1st quartile, respectively. The whiskers denote maximal and minimal values (not including outliers)
