From: Periodontitis may induce gut microbiota dysbiosis via salivary microbiota
Salivary microbiota from the patients with periodontitis led to gut microbiota dysbiosis in mice. a The experimental flowchart in the C-PH (n = 6) and C-SP (n = 6) groups. b, c α diversity-Chao1 and Shannon indexes of the caecal microbiota. Data were expressed as the mean ± SD. Statistical significance was determined using the Wilcoxon test. d, e The principal coordinate analysis was based on the unweighted UniFrac distance (Adonis analysis, P < 0.05). f The LDA graph shows the taxonomic differences in the C-PH and C-SP groups. Taxa with an LDA score >2.0 are shown
