Microbial Population Differentials between Mucosal and Submucosal Intestinal Tissues in Advanced Crohn's Disease of the Ileum (original) (raw)
Fig 7
Comparison of the relative abundance of bacterial Orders within the submucosa of the diseased ileum in Crohn's disease as compared to the ileal submucosa in nIBD controls.
Various Orders, such as Selenomonadales and Rhizobiales, are absent or poorly represented with the mucosa of Crohn's disease tissue while other orders such as Desulfovibrionales and Coriobacteriales are absent or poorly represented in nIBD controls. Panel A: Relative abundance within submucosal tissues of each bacterial Order in each disease group. Panel B: Relative comparison and contribution of each Order to the total. Legend: Bacteria present in less than 50% of patients are excluded. All data presented are statistically significant (p = <0.05).
