Notes.

1

List of condition and disease (Table S3) is limited to those known to be associated with oral microbial taxa differences.

2

Negative coefficient indicates taxa that decrease with high number of disease/conditions.

3

Taxa with differential level of significance at False Discovery Rate of q < 0.1.
