Table 1 Patient demographics according to the clinical presentation. Demographic data are presented as numbers or median with IQR in squared brackets according to the associated clinical category (LI: localized infection, BAC: bacteremia without Lemierre’s syndrome, LS: bacteremia with Lemierre’s syndrome, PBC: positive blood culture group, which includes both BAC and LS genomes). The statistical tests are performed using the *Chi-squared test followed by Yates continuity correction for categorical variables, and the \(\dagger\) Wilcoxon test for continuous variables.
