Assessing longitudinal changes in the composition of sub-gingival plaque samples following treatment. Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) comparing baseline (red) and day-90 (blue) samples at genus- and species-level (A and B respectively). Log2 fold change of all significant genera (C) and species (D) with average abundance > 0.15% at either timepoint. Positive values (blue bars) indicate organisms which increased significantly following treatment, negative values (red bars) indicate organisms which decreased significantly following treatment. Wilcoxon signed rank test, corrected using Benjamini–Hochberg false discovery rate (5%). All plotted organisms p(adjusted) < 0.05. n = 42. NA indicates no classification was obtained at genus- or species-level.
