Microbial diversity and profile in cancer patients (‘diseased’) did not differ significantly from healthy controls, but healthy individuals formed a sub-cluster within the diseased cohort. (a) No alterations were observed in alpha diversity between the two groups at the RSV level using ANOVA. (b) Microbiome profile of healthy controls clustered within the diseased subjects in a PCoA plot (RSV level). (c) LEfSe analysis of taxa associated with healthy subjects and SCC, including the top 100 most abundant genera. (d–h) Relative abundance of the genera Bifidobacterium, Pasteurellaceae, Eubacterium, Veillonella, and Fusobacterium in healthy subjects compared to patients.
