Bacterial diversity analyses using 16S rRNA gene sequences. a Shannon alpha diversity within samples by sample category, i.e., human (skin and gut), room-associated built environment samples (desk, outdoor, and dormitory room floor), and squadron-associated built environment samples (bathroom handle, common usage area, high surface dust-door stop, and low surface dust-floor corner) based on the bacterial ASVs. b Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) ordination plot showing variation among sample categories based on the weighted UniFrac distance metric. c Distribution of top 20 most abundant ASVs across all the sample categories. Not all ASVs were assigned a genus-level classification; 14 ASVs were assigned to a genus (“g”), 4 were assigned to an order (“o”), and 2 were assigned to a family (“f”)
