Microbiota perturbation by anti-microbiota vaccine reduces the colonization of Borrelia afzelii in Ixodes ricinus

Table 2 Centrality measures of the taxon Escherichia-Shigella in the uninfected and B. afzelii networks

Experimental groups	Closeness centrality^a	Betweeness centrality^b	Eigenvector centrality^c
Uninfected	0.256	0.001	0.635
B. afzelii	0.350	0.006	0.903

^aCloseness centrality indicates how close a node is to all other nodes in the network
^bbetweenness centrality indicates how much a given nodes is in-between others
^ceigenvector centrality measures a node’s importance while giving consideration to the importance of its neighbors
