The percentage of NGS reads attributable to F. felis in BALF specimens.
The percentage of NGS reads attributable to F. felis in BALF specimens from 24 cats with lower airway disease comapred to in 16 lung necropsy specimens. It was not uncommon for F. felis to be the preponderant organism in cats with lower respiratory disease, but this was rarely the case in lung specimens from the control necropsy cat, except for the cat that died of intersitial pneumonia.
