Correlation coefficients (R) of salivary concentrations of chemokines with the salivary relative abundance of six bacteria associated with periodontitis and with the total bacterial burden. The total bacterial burden: The sum of the relative abundance of P. gingivalis, T. denticola, P. intermedia, F. alocis, T. forsythia and P. micra. *(p < 0.05), **(p < 0.01)
