Comparison of oxidative activity of CF microbiome to pure Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA). a Raw average well color density (AWCD) from CF samples (n = 16) compared to the raw AWCD from four different concentrations of MPAO1-P1 strain of PA (n = 4 different experiments). b CF samples were stratified into PA-dominant and PA-non-dominant and were compared against the MPAO1-P1 strain at 108 CFU/mL. No significant differences were noted. c Optical density for tetrazolium reduction in CLPP assay wells containing α-D-glucose, D-fructose, or D-maltose from the four different concentrations of MPAO1-P1 strain above (n = 4 experiments) and for the 16 CF samples. d Optical density for tetrazolium reduction in CLPP assay wells containing α-D-glucose, D-fructose or D-maltose for PA-dominant and PA-non-dominant CF samples
