Upper and lower airway biomass. Horizontal lines represent the median value in each group, while the top and bottom of the boxes represent the 75th and 25th percentile values, respectively. Both negative control sample types had significantly lower biomass than all patient sample types (GEE, all p < 0.001). The lowest biomass samples (lung, bronchus) had lower biomass than all other subject sample types (GEE, all p < 0.001). The highest biomass samples (oral wash, sputum) had higher biomass than all other subject samples (GEE, all p < 0.001). Lung and bronchus samples were not significantly different from each other, and oral washes and sputum samples were not significantly different from each other
