Molecular Characteristics and Distribution of Virulence Genes among Staphylococcus aureus Complex Isolates Derived from Vascular Access Infections

Table 1

The descriptive characteristics of patients with Staphylococcus aureus complex (SAC) infections.

	VAI (n = 44)
	AVF (n = 2)	AVG (n = 18)	TCCs (n = 24)
Sex of patients
Male (n = 21)	0	3	14
Female (n = 27)^a	2	15	10
Age (median ± SD)	66.85 ± 1.34	66.75 ± 9	66.3 ± 11.6

^aOne patient is counted as two episodes as one AVF in 2017 and one AVG in 2019.
