a Boxplots of relative abundance of Corynebacterium, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus for men at healthy weight (red), overweight (green), and obese (blue) BMIs. b Lollipop plot showing the percent of samples that contain Dialister by BMI grouping. A significantly higher proportion of obese individuals have Dialister in their urinary microbiomes as compared with both overweight and healthy weight individuals (p < 0. 00001, n = 475 biologically independent samples). Boxplots represent the median (line), interquartile range (box) and outliers (dots above the box).
