Composition profiling derived from gastric juices obtained directly during surgery. (a) Alpha diversity of the Genome Sequencer FLX+ system-based sequencing of 16S rDNA genes in bacteria samples. (b) Alpha diversity of the Genome Sequencer FLX+ system-based sequencing of 16S rDNA genes in extracellular vesicles (EVs). (c) Heatmap comparison of the relative abundance of bacteria and EVs at the genus level in gastric juices from patients.
