Table 3.

Background genera significantly different in the outlier. The proportion of operational taxonomic units (OTUs) contributing to this difference are reported. Background genera were determined using the LB + NLB group samples. Both sequencing runs were considered as separate samples. Summed OTUs for each genus had an RPM > 1 in both sequencing runs for >60% of samples. P values were determined using the Wilcoxon Mann-Whitney U test

Genus p value Number of significant OTUs Total number of OTUs Proportion of OTUs
Corynebacterium 0.039 11 29 0.379
Staphylococcus 0.039 26 46 0.565
Streptococcus 0.015 110 220 0.500
