TLR KO mice harbor different species of Pasteurellaceae from WT and WT contains a Pasteurellaceae strain, NI1060.

A phylogenetic tree comparing specific WT and TLR KO identified Pasteurellaceae OTU sequences at the species level and their total sequence counts in relation to reference strains. Sequences from WT from this study were 99% similar to a novel strain of Pasteurellaceae that is closely related to Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, a species with strong correlation to the development of aggressive periodontitis in humans. Circles represent OTU sequence counts and a sequence similarity of ~97% is accepted as species equivalence.
