Additional file 3: of Composition and dynamics of the respiratory tract microbiome in intubated patients

Closed-reference OTU table. Closed-reference OTU taxonomic assignments. Sequence data was analyzed using the Quantitative Insights Into Microbial Ecology (QIIME) bioinformatics pipeline, version 1.8.0. Sequence alignment was performed via PyNAST, closed-reference operational taxonomic unit (OTU) formation, and taxonomic assignment was based on the Greengenes (13.8) taxonomy. Closed-reference OTUs were used in all comparisons between intubated subjects and healthy controls. (ZIP 90.8 KB)
