Figure 2. Microbial communities in ovine interdigital skin tissues from healthy, interdigital dermatitis (ID) and footrot affected feet.
Relative abundance of taxonomic bacterial groups in healthy (n = 40), ID (n = 30) and footrot (n = 36) affected feet using 16 S rRNA gene based metagenomics. (a) at the family level (b) at the genus level, (c) at genus level with ≥1 relative abundance. ‘ID’ significantly different to ‘Healthy’ *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001; ‘FR ‘ significantly different to ‘Healthy’ #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01, ####p < 0.0001; ‘FR’ significantly different to ‘ID ’ ++P < 0.01, +++P < 0.001, ++++P < 0.0001.
