Group 0 sample size Number of subjects in the control (unexposed) group
16
Group 1 sample size Number of subjects in the case (exposed) group
23
Antibiotics exclusion Number of days without antibiotics usage (if applicable) and other antibiotics-related criteria used to exclude participants (if any)
None had taken antibiotics before sputum sampling (confirmed by clinical records).
