Abundance and Identification of Prominent Pseudomonas OTUs in Lung Transplant BALs<b>.</b>

<p>1: All BALs with OTU 1065 as the most abundant OTU grew <i>P. aeruginosa</i>. No BALs with either other OTU as the most abundant had positive cultures; 2: Of the 10 completed genomes in the database with 100% homology and 100% identity, nine were <i>P. aeruginosa</i>. 3: Of the two completed genomes in the database with 100% homology and 100% identity, one was <i>P. fluorescens</i> and one was <i>P. poae</i>, a recently described member of the <i>P. fluorescens</i> group (<a href="http://www.uniprot.org/taxonomy/200451" target="_blank">http://www.uniprot.org/taxonomy/200451</a>); 4: No BLAST matches met 100% identity and homology. The genomes with the highest identity and homology were exclusively members of the <i>P. fluorescens</i> group.
