Volcano plots showing differential gene expression among the compared conditions. — Volcano plots showing differentially expressed genes between planktonic and biofilm cultures of S. mutans UA159 treated with sublethal concentrations of amoxicillin and chlorhexidine. The x-axis represents the fold-change in gene expression between different conditions, and the y-axis represents the statistical significance of the found differences. Significantly up and down-regulated genes are filtered (|log₂FC| > 1, P_adj < 0.05) and highlighted in yellow and blue dots, respectively. Genes that are not differentially expressed are shown in black. Abbreviations: CHX, chlorhexidine, AMOX, amoxicillin.
