Pulmonary Bacterial Communities in Surgically Resected Noncystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis Lungs Are Similar to Those in Cystic Fibrosis

<table>Heatmap showing clustering of bacterial communities and similarities in operational taxonomic unit (OTU) distribution among patients. Sample numbers are listed horizontally along the bottom; “B” indicates bronchiectasis samples, and “CF” indicates CF samples. OTUs and their taxonomic classifications are listed vertically on the right. Darker colors indicate higher abundance; lighter colors indicate low abundance or absence of a particular OTU.</table>
