Comparing the abundance of health and disease associated species in the subgingival plaque. Species detected by 16S rRNA sequencing were grouped in the Socransky (1998) red, orange, green, purple, blue and yellow complexes (A). Comparing the sum of ‘novel’ species associated with disease identified by Perez-Chaparro (2014) (B). Species included in figure B are; Treponema medium, Peptostreptococcus stomatis, Prevotella denticola, Mogibacterium timidum, Filifactor alocis, Selenomonas sputigena, Alloprevotella tannerae, Anaeroglobus geminatus, Fretibacterium fastidiosum, Porphyromonas endodontalis, Treponema vincentii, Treponema lecithinolyticum and Dialister pneumosintes. Tukey box plots of all individuals (N = 42) are shown. Wilcoxon signed rank test where ***p < 0.001, *p < 0.05, ns means no significant difference. P-values were adjusted using FDR (5%).
