Figure 1

Salivary microbiota diversity and community. (A) Index (Shannon, y-axis) of phyla diversity. Data are shown as a box-whisker plot (minimum, lower quartile, median, upper quartile, maximum). Statistical significance was calculated using Mann-Whitney’s U test (P < 0.0001). (B) Bar chart showing average bacterial profile of phyla. (C) Index (Shannon, y-axis) of genera diversity. (D) Bar chart showing average bacterial profile of genera. EN, elderly subjects living in nursing home; HC, healthy control subjects.
