Fig. 3From: Alteration of the cutaneous microbiome in psoriasis and potential role in Th17 polarizationRelative abundance of bacterial species in each disease state. Histograms represent the relative abundances of specific bacterial species in samples from healthy skin (red bars: Healthy), psoriatic lesions (blue bars: PSO_L), and psoriatic unaffected skin (orange bars: PSO_N). Samples from healthy skin and psoriatic unaffected skin are more abundant in a Propionibacterium acnes (p value = 0.0002; LDA effect size = 4.87) and b Propionibacterium granulosum (p value = 0.014; LDA effect size = 3.41). Samples from psoriatic skin (both unaffected and lesional) are more abundant in c Staphylococcus sciuri (p value = 0.032; LDA effect size = 2.51), d Staphylococcus aureus (p value = 0.007; LDA effect size = 3.72), and e Staphylococcus pettenkoferi (p value = 0.012; LDA effect size = 2.52). On the contrary, f Staphylococcus epidermidis shows a trend of increased abundance in healthy skin but the difference did not reach the statistical significanceBack to article page
