Relative 16S rDNA sequence abundances of bacteria in reference biofilm versus diseased samples. The taxonomic results from 454 pyrosequencing at the phylum-level resolution. Sample types are biofilm (B), granuloma (G), infected tooth (T), root canal (RC) and failed implant (I) from 6 patients (18E/18G, 2A, 6A, 23B, 24A and 35A/35C). The columns labelled ‘Reference’ and ‘Disease’ show the average sequence abundances in these data sets (n=3 and n=5, respectively). ‘Other’ includes GN02, SR1, Tenericutes, Gemmatimonadetes and AD3.
