Alpha diversity in the microbiota of different specimen types. a OTU-level richness in different specimen types. b Simpson’s index of diversity in different specimen types. Values approaching one indicate higher richness and more even community structure. Values approaching zero indicate communities dominated by a small number of taxa. c Relative abundance of the most dominant OTU in different specimen types (Max. OTU relative abundance). d Diversity in NP swabs from each diagnostic group. Diversity in NP swabs from control children was significantly lower than that in children with CSLD (Dunn’s post hoc test, p < 0.0001); comparisons between other groups did not reach statistical significance after correcting for multiple measures. NP NP swabs, OP OP swabs
