Figure 2From: Storage of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and accuracy of microbiologic diagnostics in the ICU: a prospective observational studyAgreement of bacterial counts from paired IC and DC-80 of all identified species ( n = 115). Mean bias (dotted line), limits of agreement (1.96*SD of the difference, dashed line). IC, immediate culture; DC-80, delayed culture after storage at -80°C.Back to article page
