From: Effect of a multichannel oral irrigator on periodontal health and the oral microbiome
Results of 16s rRNA amplicon sequencing of the control (no brushing) and multichannel oral irrigator (MCOI) groups. (a) Study design of sample collection and the two-tiered approach combining 16s rRNA and metagenomic sequencing. (b) Relative abundance of oral microbiota in individual samples of the control and MCOI groups at the phyla level. (c) Average relative abundance of oral microbiota in the control and MCOI groups at the phyla level. n = 15 (control) and 14 (MCOI), *P < 0.05. (d and e) Average relative abundance of 5 selected genera in the first and second phases in the control (d) and MCOI (e) groups. n = 15 (control) and 14 (MCOI); data are presented as mean ± standard error of the mean. (f and g) Principal coordinates analysis (left) and linear discriminant analysis effect size analysis (right) of the control (f) and MCOI (g) groups. P-values were calculated by analysis of similarities.
