a Correlation between alpha diversity (Shannon diversity index) and serum (in 22 survivors and 13 non-survivors) and BALF IL-6 (in 23 survivors and 15 non-survivors). No significant correlation was found between IL-6 and the Shannon diversity index. b Correlation between the copy numbers of 16S rRNA genes in the BALF and the serum and BALF IL-6. Increased copy numbers of 16S rRNA were correlated with increased serum IL-6. BALF, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid; IL, interleukin
