Blood transcriptional fingerprints of patients with Staphylococcus aureus infection. Relative changes in transcript abundance in the blood of patients with S. aureus infection compared to that of healthy controls are recorded for a set of 28 transcriptional modules. Colored spots represent relative increase (red) or decrease (blue) in transcript abundance (P < 0.05, Mann Whitney) within a module. The legend shows functional interpretation for this set of modules. Fingerprints have been generated for two independent cohorts of subjects (divided into a training set used in the discovery phase, n = 30, and an independent test set used in the validation phase, n = 32).
