From: Salivary microbiome changes distinguish response to chemoradiotherapy in patients with oral cancer
Significant change in the richness of the salivary microbiome after surgery alone. A β-diversity shown by NMDS plot, (B) diversity, and (C) richness of the salivary microbiome at 0 and 6 months in SCC patients treated with surgery alone. D Relative abundance of salivary bacteria at 0 and 6 months at the phylum level. E Most differentially abundant OTUs between pre- and post-surgery salivary microbiomes based on LEfSe analysis and (F) their relative abundances. G Most differentially abundant PICRUSt-predicted KEGG pathways before and after surgery. *p < 0.05
