Species with occurrence <3% in all groups were omitted from table; control columns consist of weighted data; TLVRS, patients with previous LVRS; CLVRS, matched controls; TELVR, patients with previous ELVR; CELVR, matched controls; YLF, yeast like fungi; NTM, nontuberculous mycobacteria. Significant p values are highlited in bold italic.
