Retrospective analysis of our in-house mNGS dataset a consisting of routinely analysed autopsy lungs, lung biopsies and resection specimens (n = 181, of which 115 autopsy lungs and 66 lung biopsies/resections). T. whipplei was not detected in any of the previously analysed lung tissues. b In contrast, A. xylosoxidans was detected in both autopsy and biopsy / resection lung specimens in > 50% of cases, suggesting that it is a common component of the pulmonary microenvironment
