FIGURE 1.
Differential bacterial composition from various sites in CF children and S-ECC patients. Total facultative anaerobes, total anaerobes, total Gram-negative anaerobes, total streptococci, and total lactobacilli; NCS (saliva from cavity free children), CS (S-ECC saliva), NCP (dental plaque from CF children), CP (S-ECC dental plaque), and cavitated lesion (Degraded dentine). Data were analyzed using ANOVA with the Scheffe test and significance was compared between sites within bacterial groups (∗p < 0.05).
