The bacterial DNA profiles of ICU and ED blood samples clustered together and separately from healthy adult blood samples. Taxonomic bacterial DNA profiles were summarized for all whole blood samples with 500 or more sequences. A composite unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA) phylogeny of all the samples was generated with the profiles ordered based on their placement in the phylogenetic tree and clustered using weighted UniFrac. The samples clustered into 5 branches on the phylogenetic tree
