From: Temporal development of the oral microbiome and prediction of early childhood caries
Discriminant Analysis of oral microbiome taxa at a mean age of 48.6 months associated with health (caries free) or disease (ECC as defined by the presence of one or more ICDAS II score of two or above). (A) sPLS-DA plot showing some discrimination of the sample groups, 95% confidence ellipse plots are represented. (B) Most important taxa selected from sPLS-DA and associated with caries free or ECC. The x-axis represents the importance of each OTU in sPLS-DA, the y-axis the OTUs with their Genus | Species taxonomy classification. Colours indicate the sample group where the OTU’s median was the largest. Blue = health; Orange = disease.
