FIG 5 .

Microbiome comparisons for the various body sites between those that had an SSTI and those that did not (non-SSTI) (A and B) and between those body sites that were culture positive and those that were negative for Staphylococcus aureus (C and D). We assessed phylotype richness (observed phylotypes) (A and C) as well as overall diversity using the inverse Simpson index (1/D) (B and D). Each symbol corresponds to an individual sample. The black line represents the mean abundance. Means that were statistically different from each other between SSTI and non-SSTI or S. aureus positive (+) or negative (−) samples were determined using ANOVA. Significant P values (P < 0.05) are indicated on the graphs.
