Oral wash and sputum samples have greater Simpson diversity than lung, bronchus, and nasopharyngeal samples. Simpson diversity was determined for each sample and illustrated by sample site. Horizontal bars represent the median value for each sample while the top and bottom of the boxes represent the 75th and 25th percentile values, respectively. Oral wash and sputum samples are significantly more diverse than lung, bronchus, and nasopharyngeal samples (GEE, p < 0.0001)
