Figure 3

Analysis of Fusobacterium nucleatum DNA levels and bacterial flora in the stool. (a) F. nucleatum DNA levels in the stool before periodontal treatment (n = 10, 21). HGD, high-grade dysplasia; LGD, low-grade dysplasia. (b) F. nucleatum DNA levels in the stool of patients before and after periodontal treatment (n = 16, 11). (c) Changes in the bacterial composition of the stool before and after treatment for periodontitis. (d) Changes in the diversity of faecal bacterial flora. Data are means ± SEM. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, Wilcoxon rank-sum test (a), paired Student’s t-test (b,d), PCoA analysis with the R Software (d).
