Abundance and Identification of Prominent Pseudomonas OTUs in Lung Transplant BALs.

1: All BALs with OTU 1065 as the most abundant OTU grew P. aeruginosa. No BALs with either other OTU as the most abundant had positive cultures; 2: Of the 10 completed genomes in the database with 100% homology and 100% identity, nine were P. aeruginosa. 3: Of the two completed genomes in the database with 100% homology and 100% identity, one was P. fluorescens and one was P. poae, a recently described member of the P. fluorescens group (http://www.uniprot.org/taxonomy/200451); 4: No BLAST matches met 100% identity and homology. The genomes with the highest identity and homology were exclusively members of the P. fluorescens group.
