From: Altered oral microbiome in Sudanese Toombak smokeless tobacco users carries a newly emerging risk of squamous cell carcinoma development and progression

Figure 6

Fungal entities in pooled saliva amongst Sudanese users and non-users of Toombak and correlation differentiators of fungal inhabitance in the oral cavity between Toombak users and non-users. Bar graph abundance (right) highlights marked loss of Candida presence in the oral cavity of Toombak users and an increase in Saccharomyces and Aspergillus. Unassigned species were also abundant amongst Toombak users. Correlation plotting (left) configures abundances in Malassezia, Saccharomyces and Aspergillus that were correlated positively with Toombak use while Candida was the  genus most correlated with non-users of Toombak.
