Relative bacterial abundance by phylum. a Metagenomic analysis. Estimates of the relative amount of microbial DNA in each patient from 5 major phyla (colors), and all other bacterial phyla combined (black). b Comparison of results with earlier studies. Av: Average of all patient data in Fig. 2a. Or: Oral saliva test sample. R1: Averaged jejunal phylum distribution, from reference [15]. R2: Averaged saliva phylum distribution (ref [22]). R3: Averaged phylum distribution for stomach from reference [23]. R4: Averaged adult colon phylum distribution (ref [24]). R5: Averaged colon distribution from aged individuals (ref [25])
