Eukaryotic microbial species richness across sample sites. Differences in species richness, were tested between the following sample groups: i) AD LS and NLS (p = 0.6), ii) AD LS and non-AD healthy control skin (p = 0.02, adjusted p = 0.3), iii) AD NLS and healthy control skin (p = 0.002, adjusted p = 0.02), and iv) AD nose and healthy control nose (p = 0.2). A Mann-Whitney U test was performed for paired samples and Wilcoxon Signed Rank test for unpaired samples. * marks a statistically significant difference between compared sample sites (Bonferroni adjusted p-value < 0.05). Boxes correspond to the 1. quartile, median, and 3. quartile. Whiskers extend to samples with the minimum/maximum count, but no longer than 1.5 x IQR (Inter-Quartile-Range). Dots represent individual samples. Abbreviations: AD: atopic dermatitis, LS: lesional skin, NLS: non-lesional skin
