Figure 3: Microbial communities in ovine interdigital skin tissues with high and low levels of inflammation from healthy and footrot affected feet.

Relative abundance of taxonomic bacterial groups in tissue with low and high levels of inflammation from healthy (H, n = 12 and n = 9) and footrot (FR, n = 7 and n = 8) affected feet, respectively using a 16 S rRNA amplicon survey. (a) at the family level (b) at the genus level, (c) at genus level with ≥1 relative abundance. ‘FR high’ significantly different to ‘FR low’ **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001; ‘H high’ significantly different to ‘H low’ ^#p < 0.05, ^##p < 0.01, ^####p < 0.0001; + ‘FR high’ significantly different to ‘H high’ ⁺⁺P < 0.01, ⁺⁺⁺P < 0.001, ⁺⁺⁺⁺P < 0.0001.
