Figure 3. Microbiologic Yield of an Annual Induced Sputum compared to Nearest Oropharyngeal Swab (Cohort 2).

Figure 3

Annual induced sputum culture was compared to the nearest oropharyngeal swab culture within 4 months. Induced sputum yielded more polymicrobial infections and a statistically significant increase in the detection of gram negative organisms (H. influenzae, S. maltophilia, P. aeruginosa, A. xylosoxidans).
