Stuart Elborn, Marcus A. Mall, Alexander H. DalpkeSputum samples from children with CF are represented by red points and adult CF patients by blue (at the time of admission in the clinic) and green points (after antibiotics treatment). Pearson correlations were performed to highlight which genera were responsible for the divergence among the samples. Correlation was considered significant when the coefficient of correlation was higher than 0.6 and p-value < 0.01.
