Split up the following sentence.
When central venous IV lines were removed, skin samples from patients with IV line–related bloodstream infections were collected and in 80% of these samples, bacteria with high DNA identity to those found in the bloodstream and IV lines were identified, whereas in 20% of the patients isolated bacteria had no or low DNA identity, suggesting that most bloodstream infections in patients with central venous IV lines arise from contamination of IV lines or needles during insertion.
