Figure 4. Phyla composition of individual 1 per sample site and DNA extraction method.
Samples extracted with Agowa and Qiagen showed a significant higher proportion of Actinobacteria and Firmicutes and a lower proportion of Bacteriodetes, compared to Epicentre and Mobio, especially in the oropharyngeal and saliva samples for all 4 individuals. Note that nasopharyngeal samples from all four individuals isolated with Epicentre failed to give results.
