Frequency of coexistence of pathogens in COVID-19 patients. The figure shows the frequency of viral vs bacterial co-infections in COVID-19 patients. The number of viruses detected in 14 ICU patients was 9 (6 H1N1 and 3 Adenovirus) compared to 2 bacteria (1 Chlamydia pneumoniae and 1 Staphylococcus aureus) which indicates a higher likelihood of ICU admission with viral co-infection. In 34 non-ICU patients, 36 coexisting pathogens were detected namely 15 bacteria (12 Chlamydia pneumoniae and 3 Staphylococcus aureus) and 21 viruses (11 H1N1, 7 Adenovirus, 1 metapneumovirus, 1 parainfluenza-3, and 1 influenza B) although none of them were involved in mortality
