From: Characterization of the microbiome of nipple aspirate fluid of breast cancer survivors
Nipple skin microbial composition.
(a) PCoA plot using Bray-Curtis dissimilarity based on genus-level OTUs from nipple skin swab samples collected from either HC or BC. (b) Number of bacterial OTUs observed on the nipple skin swabs as a function of sequencing depth as assessed by diversity rarefaction curves. The difference in diversity was compared by a non-parametric t-test using the average of observed OTUs randomly sampled ten times at 918 sequencing depth. Error bars represent standard deviation. (c) Bar chart depicts the average phylum-level percentages of the nipple skin microbiome measured from HC and BC.
