% Relative abundance of OTU’s from two IPF lung explants taken from proximal and distal airway brushings after the lung was removed. IPF Lung 1 demonstrated 100% relative abundance of Streptococcus OTU 1350 in the proximal brushing. In the distal brushing, two Streptococcus OTU’s were identified, OTU 1350 at 23.89% and OTU 1345 at 0.81% relative abundance. Staphylococcus OTU 1348 was also identified in the distal brush at 1.86% relative abundance. In IPF Lung 2, neither Streptococcus nor Staphylococcus was identified in the proximal brush, but the distal brush demonstrated 15.29% relative abundance for Streptococcus OTU 1345.
