Microbial load distribution across 250 human duodenal aspirate samples. A Histogram of the total microbial load in 250 duodenal aspirate samples overlaid with a kernel-density estimate. B Quantile-quantile plot comparing the sample distribution of the log10-transformed total microbial load in duodenal aspirate samples to a normal distribution. C Kernel-density estimate plots showing the absolute abundance distribution for the taxa with greater than 50% prevalence in duodenal aspirates. Prevalence (defined as a taxon’s frequency of occurrence in our dataset) and number of samples with each genus are labeled next to the distribution. A legend indicates strict anaerobes (red line through O2) and the location each genus is commonly found (saliva and/or stool) [30, 31]. Classification of taxa as common in stool or saliva was determined by prevalence of ≥ 50% (stool data are not included in this study) in the 16 participants for whom we had paired samples
