Figure 4

Plot of first two coordinates (a) and MDS3 vs MDS 4 (b) of an MDS ordination of the KEGG gene family abundance table for WGS sequence reads from swab samples (blue triangles), stool samples (red circles) and tissue samples (purple squares). The distinct separation of colors shows that there is separation by sample type in the first and third MDS axes. MDS axes plotted by participant ID show strong separation by sample type for MDS 1 (c) and by participant and sample type for MDS 3 (d).
