Fig. 7: Specific microbial and viral species are associated with bone loss and increased PDL space.
From: Polymicrobial periodontal disease triggers a wide radius of effect and unique virome
The graphs show the top microbial and viral species that correlate with the level of bone loss (a–h). The x-axes show the abundance of microbes/viruses and the y-axes shows the level of bone loss in mm. The graph in panel i shows the virus that is most highly associated with and an increased PDL space.
