Composition of major bacterial phyla in the bronchoalveolar lavage samples from (a) native lungs of SLTs (b) allograft lungs of SLTs and (c) normal lung subjects (d) Relative abundance of genus Acinetobacter in the bronchoalveolar lavage samples from allograft (A), native (N) of single lung transplant recipients and normal (H) lung controls. N vs A vs H, P = 0.003 (Kruskal Wallis), post-hoc Dunn’s test, N vs A = 0.04, N vs H = NS, A vs H = 0.004 (e) Relative abundance of genus Pseudomonas in the bronchoalveolar lavage samples from allograft (A), native (N) of single lung transplant recipients and normal (H) lung controls. N vs A vs H, P = 0.01 (Kruskal Wallis), post-hoc Dunn’s test, N vs A = 0.03, N vs H = NS, A vs H = 0.02. f Concentration of Ac-PGP in the bronchoalveolar lavage samples from native lungs and allografts of SLTs, P = 0.03 (Wilcoxon test) (g) Pro-inflammatory cytokines VEGF, TNF-α, and IFN-γ in the bronchoalveolar lavage samples from native lungs, allografts of SLTs and normal controls. VEGF A vs N vs H, P = 0.002, Post-hoc Dunn’s test, N vs A = NS, N vs H = NS, A vs H = 0.002, TNF-α A vs N vs H, P = 0.03, Non-significant subgroup comparisons, IFN-γ A vs N vs H, P = 0.01, Post-hoc Dunn’s test, N vs A = NS, N vs H = 0.03, A vs H = NS
