From: Dynamic alterations of oral fungal microbiota in Omicron infected patients
Oral fungal microbial diversity among PIOV group, RP group and HC group. (A,B) ace and chao maps showed that the α-diversity of oral fungal microorganisms in RP and PIOV groups was lower than that in HC group, and RP group was between the two. (C) Venn diagram displaying the overlaps between groups showed that 7361 of the total richness of 101401 OTUs were shared among the three groups, while the HC group had 40243 unique OTUs, significantly higher than the PIOV and RP groups. (D,E) he NMDS (D) and PCoA (E) analysis indicated the oral fungal taxonomic composition was conspicuously different in the three groups, and RP gradually approached HC. F) The ANOSIM analysis in the form of boxplot shows that the difference between PIOV group, RP group and HC group (R = 0.187, P < 0.05). PIOV, patients infected Omicron variant; RP, recovered patients infected Omicron; HC, healthy control; OTUs, operational taxonomy units; PCoA, principal coordinate analysis; NMDS, nonmetric multidimensional scaling; centerline, median; box limits, upper and lower quartiles; error bars, 95% CI.
