Presence of recurrent aphthous ulcers reveals Neisseria meningitidis proteins. (A) Volcano graphs show the windows considered in the analysis, constructed considering statistical significance and fold change. Proteins up- and down-regulated are enclosed by a green square. Fold change limits were − 0.5 and 0.5. The established p value was 0.05. (B) Table details the proteins expressed differentially in the comparison between groups. The presence of proteins and strains of Neisseria meningitidis (serogroup B, strain MC58 and serogroup C, strain 053442) during ulcerative activity stands out. Information of oral bacteria was obtained from The Human Oral Microbiome Database (http://www.homd.org/).
