The composition of the oral microbiome differed among the groups at the family level of C57Bl/6 mice submitted to different treatments: SHAM (negative control), P+L- (positive control, inoculated with the microbial consortium), P-L+ (L. acidophilus LA5), P+L+ (microbial consortium + L. acidophilus LA5). ANCOM revealed differences in microbial mean taxa abundance among the groups. The mean abundance of each family is represented in the graphs. W values are shown in the table using the 75th percentile of the W distribution as the empirical cut-off value. Kruskal–Wallis with Dunn’s pos hoc test. Significant differences * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01.
