Changes in abundance of OTUs through SSWD progression. (A) Log normalized abundance of 6 OTUs whose abundance decreased from healthy samples through symptom progression. Abundance of these OTUs differed between healthy and early stage sick samples (adjusted P values presented from this test) and between healthy and late stage sick samples. (B) Log normalized abundance of 6 OTUs whose abundance increased from healthy samples through symptom progression. Abundance of these OTUs differed between healthy and early stage sick samples (adjusted P value presented from this test) and between healthy and late stage sick samples. The centerline of the boxplots represents the median of the data, the box represents the interquartile range, and the whiskers represent the minimum and maximum values.
