Figure 3.
Most differentially abundant taxa in temporal artery biopsies from patients with GCA and from control patients. (A) Bar blot representation from DESeq2 showing the most over-represented (+) and under-represented (-) phyla in TAs from patients with GCA compared to TAs from controls. (B) Bar blot representation from DESeq2 showing the most over-represented (+) and under-represented (-) genera in TAs from patients with GCA compared to TAs from controls. (C) Heat map of bacterial communities in TA with GCA (“inflammatory” blue bar) compared to those without GCA (“noninflammatory” pink bar) based on the top dominant OTUs. Columns and rows represent samples and dominant OTUs, respectively. Row names on the right of the heat map include Green Genes ID followed by family and genus.
