Decrease of oropharyngeal longitudinal alpha diversity in enterobacterial VAP. Longitudinal changes in alpha diversity of the oropharyngeal samples of the individual patients (dots) and by VAP diagnosis. Lines are based on a local polynomial regression fitting (loess function in R, grey bands indicate 95% CI). a Richness, b Shannon diversity index. Note: Summary lines for H. influenzae VAP patients were omitted due to low number of cases (n = 2)
