When this article was published the Fig. 1 was presented in a redrawn version and the footnote was inadvertently deleted during the process.

Two notes to Fig. 1 should have been given:

*16/49 patients (32.6%) were already on antimicrobial therapy at the time of BAL acquisition

** therapeutic choices based on BALCX considered decisions guided by BALFAPPP as baseline

The original article has been updated. The Editorial Office apologizes for the mistake.
