Comparison of IL-17A and IL-23 levels between patients with different colonisation status of P. aeruginosa and S. aureus. Comparison of IL-17A and IL-23 mRNA levels between patients with different colonisation state of P. aeruginosa (A and B) (never/free/intermittent: n = 17 and chronic: n = 21) and S. aureus (never/free/intermittent: n = 22 and chronic: n = 16) (C and D) according to the Leeds criteria. mRNA values were normalized to 18S rRNA (ratio multiplied by 104). Comparison between the groups was done by nonparametric Mann-Whitney U test (p < 0.05 significant). Median levels are shown by the line.
