A proportion of all the taxa detected in the BB is shared with paired NB and OW samples, with each compartment contributing distinct taxa to the bronchial community. a The number of taxa shared with BB is higher for OW compared to NB (Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test). b Richness of taxa shared represents a larger proportion of the overall richness detected in BB sample for paired OW compared to NB (Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank). c Richness of the shared taxa between paired BB and NB was greater in AAs compared to HCs (&Mann-Whitney test). d Distribution of specific taxa shared with paired BB is distinct between NB and OW samples in AAs. (Genera identified in at least 20% of subjects in the same sample type; Statistical significance between OW and NB genera was determined using Fisher’s exact test where ****p ≤ 0.0001, ***p ≤ 0.001, **p ≤ 0.01, *p ≤ 0.05)
