Figure 1. — Mean semiquantitative levels of bacteria in all 298 sputum samples tested by BioFire FilmArray Pneumonia Panel. Samples include sputa with good or moderate quality. Semiquantitative results are expressed a genomic copy per milliliter log₁₀. Mean quantity was compared for S pneumoniae, H influenzae, M catarrhalis, P aeruginosa, group A streptococcus (GAS), S aureus, group B streptococcus (GBS), and other Gram-negative rods (GNR). For each comparison, values were significantly higher for S pneumoniae, H influenzae, M catarrhalis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa vs S aureus, GBS, and other GNR. P < .003 for all comparisons.
