  1. The following Π values were used to calculate the expected frequencies of each comorbidity (see Table 2): Π(Absence of bacterial infection) = 21/53 = 0.396; Π(Presence of Gram +) = 11/53 = 0.453; Π(Presence of Gram – and mixed flora) = 21/53 = 0.396
  2. Association between genotypes at the TAS2R38 locus and bacterial infection was then tested by χ 2
