Distribution and abundance of bacterial taxa across patients in worsening lung disease categories. a Mild/normal. b Moderate. c Severe categories. Given is the percentage number of patient respiratory samples each bacterial taxon was observed to be distributed across, plotted against the mean percentage abundance across those samples. Core taxa are defined as those that fall within the upper quartile of distribution (orange circles), and satellite taxa (grey circles) defined as those that do not. Recognised pathogens are marked as follows: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, purple circle; Staphylococcus aureus, light green diamond; Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, blue diamond; Burkholderia cepacia complex, green square; Haemophilus influenzae, light blue triangle and Achromobacter xylosoxidans, black triangle. Distribution-abundance relationship regression statistics: (a) r2 = 0.64, F1,514 = 927.3, P < 0.0001; (b) r2 = 0.62, F1,581 = 961.9, P < 0.0001; (c) r2 = 0.75, F1,527 = 1549.1, P < 0.0001. Common taxa are listed Table S1
