Microbiome ecology approaches reveal bacterial interactions underpin worse lung function in #CysticFibrosis #CF Lung infections are not caused by 1 pathogen in isolation but instead by interplay of complex lung microbiota of many different microbes interacting with each other & the lung environment

Diagnostic Performance of Serum & BAL Galactomannan Testing in Lung Transplant Recipients "Serum GM is not a valuable test in the diagnosis of IA in our LTx recipients, is costly, & does not remove the need for bronchoscopy & BAL GM." onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #TxID #IDSky

visual abstract for the study which concludes that serum galactomannan is unhelpful in patients with lung transplants due to poor sensitivity

ROC curve for BAL galactomannan in diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis. The ROC is pretty decent (shows moderately good sensitivity and specificity)

ROC curve for serum galactomannan for diagnosing invasive aspergillosis in a cohort of lung transplant recipients. Probably the worst ROC I've ever seen, where the curve approaches the diagonal (ie completely worthless)
