FIG 1.
Quantitative result agreement between the FilmArray pneumonia plus (FA-PP) panel and standard-of-care (SoC) culture testing methods for 202 bacterial organisms detected in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid or endotracheal aspirate (ETA) samples from ICU patients. All but 22 (which did not grow in culture) organisms were detected at or above the 1 × 104 CFU/ml (BAL fluid sample) or 1 × 105 CFU/ml (ETA sample) thresholds for clinically relevant quantification by both methods. The diagonal dashed line connects dots that represent bacterial organisms with fully concordant results (71/202; 35.1%), whereas dots above or below the line represent bacterial organisms with SoC culture loads that exceeded (18/202, 8.9%) or did not exceed (113/202, 56.0%), respectively, those of the FA-PP panel by ≥1 log10. Shades of gray are used to depict the different numbers of samples corresponding to each dot.
