FIG 2 — Microbial community structure analysis. (A) Alpha diversity (Shannon index) of the microbial community between dentures and teeth in health and disease, (B) Beta diversity (principal-coordinate analysis [PCoA]) of the microbial communities colonizing dentures (blue) or remaining teeth (green) of healthy individuals and stomatitis patients (red, dentures; yellow, remaining teeth), respectively. (C) Phylotype co-occurrence (calculated as Bray-Curtis dissimilarity) in denture and remaining-tooth samples from healthy individuals (black bars) and stomatitis patients (white bars). The phylotypes colonizing dentures (D) and teeth (T) were compared within the same individuals (D-T Same Ind.), between different individuals (D-T Different Individuals), and between denture (D-T Different Individuals) and tooth (T-T Different Individuals) samples from different individuals. *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.001.
