Figure 6

ICU length of stay and duration of mechanical ventilation related to length of antibiotic therapy in Group I bacteria. ICU length of stay () and duration of mechanical ventilation duration () in patients treated with less than 7 days, 7 to 10 days, and greater than 10 days of antibiotic therapy for Group I bacteria. There were no significant differences in ICU length of stay () or duration of mechanical ventilation () among the duration groups. Data presented as mean ± standard deviation.
