Significant discrimination of microbiota in different diagnostic groups detected for both the lower and upper airway data. Differences in the microbiota from children with CSLD (red triangles) and PBB (light blue circles) and control children (dark blue squares) were evident in principal coordinate analysis of the lower (a) and upper (c) airway data. In the lower airway plots, each data point represents the combined Lavage-1 and Lavage-2 data from a single child. Likewise, in the upper airway plots, each data point represents the combined NP and OP data from a single child. Canonical analysis of principal coordinates (CAP) from the lower (b) and upper (d) airway data discriminated the diagnostic groups. Each CAP included 49 children. CAP eigenvalues were all >0.8. The misclassification error was 26.5 and 12.2 % for the lower and upper airway data, respectively. CAP of lower and upper airway specimens were optimised with 26/49 and 18/49 PCO axes, respectively
