Figure 1. Patient and isolate overview.

(A) Genotypic characterisation. “First PA (Pseudomonas aeruginosa)” shows the year the patients had the first culture of P. aeruginosa. Isolates denoted by “X” were not sequenced. (B) Phenotypic characterisation. The phenotypic characteristics are shown for 41 isolates sampled at the same time points as indicated by isolates in (A). When phenotypic boxes are close together isolates were sampled from the same sputum sample (se legends to Fig. 1A). A grey box indicates a non-characterisable phenotype (N/A), white indicates the absense of a phenotype, and coloured boxes indicate the presence of a phenotype.
