Fig. 4: PCA of the gene repertoire in strains of four different microbial species present in the skin microbiome of MF patients.

Fig. 4

Only metagenomic samples with sufficient coverage of the species of interest are shown. S. aureus is the only species that exhibited strain differences between MF lesions and nonlesional skin, with principal component (PC) 1 being the discriminating factor. Pat15 and Pat16 each had the same strain present on plaque and nonlesional skin, indicating that S. aureus present on plaque spread into nonlesional areas of the skin (a). For S. hominis (b), S. epidermidis (c) and C. acnes (d) no such differences were found.
